- The number of AIDS-related cases in China has topped
the half-million mark and continues to climb.

- China's health ministry says three quarters of the mostly
young rural men contract the disease through drug use. At present 18-thousand
Chinese have been diagnosed as having full-blown AIDS, but authorities

drug use, homosexuality and a booming sex industry in a bid to combat the
problem. Tom O'Byrne, Beijing.
