The Chinese seem to prefer Ketamine for some reason. I wonder where it is coming from! Is it coming from outside the country, or is it being manafactured here.

Most illicit Ketamine seems to be manufactured in China.

Interesting story. Back in the 90s Ketamine wasn't even illegal in many countries, and India was one of the best sources.

Fentanyl and Carfentanyl too. Of course, it is China conveniently using the border to hide their involvement as a matter of traditional practise.
