In 2022, the Chinese authorities seized 1.3 tons of heroin in the country, of which 1.29 tons were produced in the "Golden Triangle" area, located along the borders between Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Only 1.2 percent of all heroin seized in China was produced in the "Golden Crescent" region, including parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey. China has one of the most stringent anti-narcotic laws in the world. Drug smugglers caught carrying more than 50 grams of heroin into the country can be subjected to capital punishment.
