China stands ready to work with other countries to address new problems and challenges in drug control, including fentanyl-related substances, a senior official of the Office of China National Narcotics Control Commission said in a statement.



China on Tuesday released a white paper titled "Controlling Fentanyl-Related Substances -- China's Contribution."



The official said the white paper enables people from all walks of life and the international community to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of China's position, measures and progress in controlling fentanyl-related substances.



Stressing that China earnestly implements United Nation's anti-drug conventions, the official said China has established a sound anti-drug legal system and enforced strict control over fentanyl-related substances and precursor chemicals that can be used to manufacture such substances.



China has also established and improved the technical system for testing and identifying fentanyl-related substances to support the control and law enforcement efforts, the official noted.
