BEIJING,
June 16 (Xinhua) -- China's General Administration of Customs (GAC) has
launched a new campaign to crack down on smuggling of ivory and endangered
species in the country, it announced on Monday.
The
campaign will last six months until the end of this year, a GAC spokesman said.
Overseas
customs authorities will offer legal assistance for the campaign, according to
the administration.
China has
stepped up action against ivory smuggling in recent years, confiscating about
21 tonnes of smuggled tusks and ivory products and capturing 377 criminal
suspects in 1,309 cases since April 2012.
