BEIJING – Four Britons have been arrested in China’s Jiangsu province over drug-related offences.

They are among 16 foreigners – seven teachers and nine students – who were detained last week after testing positive for drug use.

At least some of those being held are from an international language school, Education First.

Police did not specify the type of drugs involved and it is not clear where the other foreigners are from.

There are extremely severe penalties for drug offences in China. (BBC)
