'Drug traffickers in China's far west are smuggling heroin into the country woven into carpets imported from Afghanistan and Pakistan, state media said on Tuesday.

Customs officials in Xinjiang, which borders both countries, have seized more than 30 carpets containing some 50 kg (110 lb) of heroin in the last several months, the official China Daily said.

"The traffickers have become more sophisticated and are using new techniques," it paraphrased Wang Zhi, deputy director the General Administration of Customs' anti-smuggling bureau, as saying.

"Wang said traffickers first inject heroin into plastic tubes of 1-2 mm diameter and wrap them with colorful natural or synthetic fibers to make them look like yarn. They then weave them into the carpet along with normal yarn," the report said.

The new smuggling method was making detection harder as equipment normally used by customs' officers was not up to the task, the newspaper added.'

This is probably bullshit or propaganda from the Beijing overlords.

I worked for a year in Urumqi, Xinjiang in recent years. I was constantly offered white heroin from Han Chinese (off duty cops probably). the same in Kashgar, china white ever time.

I never once saw brown heroin out of over a hundred offers, so go figure. How many cop checkposts between the white h factories and the streets of East Turkestan aka Xinjiang. it has to be done with official sanction given the scale

Unofficially the Han Chinese overlords rulers are flooding the Uiygur and other socalled minority populace in the state with white heroin (where the minoritiwes together are the majority) and largely opposed to Beijing Han rule.

Why? Han Chinese know too well (first hand) how valuable strong opiates are for putting a opposing and potentially violent force to sleep.

Why the fuck would Uiygurs and other locals import Afghani smack through difficult mountain passes when it is cheaper and stronger flooding onto their streets

it has to be a propaganda exercise that the Beijing feed to us fools in the west.

Beijing is not ruled by nice people (which super power is) look at crack and how it has put the black youth in USA into a hole and we know USA air force planes bring it in, thats been established in the contra central america exposure

Beijing will murder their own kids in Tian min square what do you think they would do to Uiygurs and Tibetans and others. Heroin does it more discretely than a machine gun, the Han Chinese know this, just ask them about their experience under British opium control
