China strengthens regulation on opium-related substances

China has aimed to tighten regulations on all substances related to opioids starting from October 1, 2026. This includes all categories of illicit drugs and psychoactive substances not approved for medical use, according to official announcements from the Ministry of Public Security, the National Health Commission, and the National Medical Products Administration. Previously, China added 16 more substances linked to fentanyl, synthetic cannabinoids, and nitazines to its control list, imposing restrictions on their production, distribution, import, and export. The country has also strengthened its oversight of precursor chemicals related to fentanyl, introducing 13 new types of such substances into the export list this year, with special measures to curb smuggling into the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Authorities emphasized the enforcement of strict penalties for crimes connected to the trade of these substances and increased law enforcement efforts to combat illegal trafficking. Since 2025, numerous operations have been thwarted, and large quantities of drugs and psychoactive substances have been intercepted.
