Police in eastern China arrested a retired chemistry professor and a younger chemistry graduate in a major cross-border drug trafficking bust. The two were linked to a pharmaceutical company in Shandong province buying large quantities of chemicals used to make etomidate, a controlled synthetic drug. The two-year investigation began in 2024 after authorities noticed suspicious chemical purchases. The younger man, Huang, has a master's in chemistry and experience selling e-cigarettes in Shenzhen.
