        Depends on which drugs. Alot of opiates come from SE Asia whereas cocaine is highly produced and distributed from South America and Mexico..however, drugs are produced and sourced worldwide.

        The Chinese (or any other country) wouldn't produce the drug if there wasn't demand for it. Economics 101-supply and demand.

        Instead of pointing fingers you should look at the common denominator to all the high drug producers of the world? The Demand is so high that many fall into the trap of trying to supply it and then they are the Evil ones? Why are places with high Drugs Demand consuming even more?
