They're there to guard the embassies, that's their job. And what effect would large numbers of PLA have on anything illicit anywhere (except where such illicit activities are a PLA money-making venture, of course)? The PLA's job is national defence. And y'know, as pacifist as I am, I wouldn't mind seeing drugs cheats getting the Sanlitur treatment. Nothing rankles us Kiwis like cheats in sports.

I can't remember one time where I wasn't offered dope down there. Perhaps my appearance indicates I would be customer (years breathing Beijing's polluted air, I look 10 years older and the hair stylists aren't that good here in China). One would think that with all the PLA in and about Sanlitun, that illicit drug sales would be an impossibility. Not the case. Drugs are offered unscrupulous to all passers by. How is this possible? As much as the cleanup is needed, a beat down or attack is a bit much. Perhaps this event is meant to send a message. Could this latest crack down be an indication of how they will treat sports dopers @ the Beijing Olympics? It’s about time the police cleaned up the drug dealers in Sanlitun.
