Taiwan's government says it is making big gains against criminal operators of underground radio stations.

Over the past three months, the office of the prime minister has been personally overseeing a crackdown on advertisements for fake and harmful drugs.

So widespread is the problem and so good the marketing that the government has made the issue a top public-health priority.
