Features: Chinese police discovered tens of kilograms of heroin in the bellies of koi carp shipped from Shanghai Airport to the New York Aquarium, uncovering a major transnational drug trafficking case involving China, the United States, Myanmar, and Thailand. Only international cooperation can completely dismantle this vast international drug trafficking network—“The Butterfly Gang.” With the agreement of top leaders from both China and the United States, the two countries' drug enforcement agencies joined forces on this case, reaching a consensus. This marked the beginning of a historic collaboration between China and the United States to combat transnational drug trafficking groups—a grand operation called "Borderless Action."
