Not a joke. This is actually happening. I'm not saying this is a Chinese policy, but just something that's happening on the ground. You should watch some of the YouTube clips on Mexican Cartels. It's pretty insane stuff.

That's why Americans are far more concerned about drugs coming through the southern border than anything else. Too bad I can't say the same about the foreign policy establishment.
China has the strictest drug laws in the world. Whatever happens in Mexico is none of the CPC's business.

This article is just a bunch of China bad, look we made up some stories where we caught some overseas chinese breaking laws.
Additionally, algae theft is likely to be an attractive illicit activity due to the Chinese food market's strong demand.
Illegal fishing also provides an opportunity for corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, labor violations, and even drug trafficking.
According to Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), China National Tobacco Corporation (CNTC) brands such as Golden Deer and Silver Elephant have been illegally flooding into Latin America.
Pure western cope, you should put it in the funny stuff thread.

He said Argentina appreciates China for taking an objective position on international affairs and appealing for a ceasefire to give peace a chance.

Argentina officially joined the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in February, a step analysts believe will significantly boost bilateral ties and promote cooperation in various fields between the two countries.

As a major country in Latin America, Argentina's joining of the BRI is of landmark significance and marks close cooperation between China and the region.

Analysts have pointed out that the close economic cooperation between the two countries was forged long before Argentina's joining of the BRI.

According to China Customs statistics data, China was Argentina's second largest trading partner in 2020 while Argentina was China's fifth largest trading partner in Latin America. Bilateral trade volume in the first half of 2021 stood at about $6.94 billion, up 23.2 percent year-on-year, of which China exported about $4.64 billion and imported about $2.30 billion worth of goods. China mainly imported soybeans, crude oil, leather, and other commodities from Argentina.

This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries. In addition to the economic field, the two countries are also witnessing frequent exchanges in other fields.

In February, Argentine President Alberto Fernandez came to Beijing to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games. He also attended the BRICS' High-level Dialogue on Global Development held in Beijing virtually in June.

Argentina is now actively seeking BRICS membership. Argentine Ambassador to China Sabino Vaca Narvaja, told the Global Times that Argentina hopes to become a BRICS member as the BRICS cooperation mechanism is of profound significance to the building of a more balanced global order where cooperation will be unconditional and mutually beneficial.

"If Argentina joins BRICS, this move would also be very conducive to the further development of China-Latin America relations," he said.
