In a country long associated with the trade in opiates, the Chinese
government has for decades applied extreme measures to curtail the
spread of illicit drugs, only to find that the problem has
worsened. Burma is blamed as the major producer of illicit drugs
and conduit for the entry of drugs into China. Which organizations
are behind the heroin trade? What problems and prospects of drug
control in the so-called "Golden Triangle" drug-trafficking region
are faced by Chinese and Southeast Asian authorities? In The
Chinese Heroin Trade, noted criminologists Ko-Lin Chin and Sheldon
Zhangexamine the social organization of the trafficking of heroin
from the Golden Triangle to China and the wholesale and retail
distribution of the drug in China. Based on face-to-face interviews
with hundreds of incarcerated drug traffickers, street-level drug
dealers, users, and authorities, paired with extensive fieldwork in
the border areas of Burma and China and several major urban centers
in China and Southeast Asia, this volume reveals how the drug trade
has evolved in the Golden Triangle since the late 1980s. Chin and
Zhang also explore the marked characteristics of heroin
traffickers; the relationship between drug use and sales in China;
and how China compares to other international drug markets. The
Chinese Heroin Trade is a fascinating, nuanced account of the world
of high-risk drug trafficking in a tightly-controlled society.
