There is quite literal Opium War going right now (and for few decades in the past) but China has nothing to do with it, it's waged by the US government against people of US and some other countries mostly in Central and South America.

    A few other related ones:

    • The confirmed cia program to start the crack epidemic and use it to profit off of and impoverish black communities in the US. Read gary webb - dark alliance for more on that.
    • The historical and still ongoing spread of alcohol to native communities in the US.
    • The CIA pretty much took over the majority of international drug trade after ww2 via the helliwell plan(modelled on Chiang kai-sheks program) , and used it to fund their covert ops. A lot more on that in williams - operation gladio.
