The Chinese have a looooong history with opium. They know it can get out of hand, and in so doing might cause an unintended consequence.................
Yea but that long history is what gives them the expertise. since they arent averse to shooting their own people I’m sure they would be able to handle it. But long before it came to that, they’d just post troops around and deal with any native Chinese going near the dens anyway like they do with most things.
