Theyaccidentally discovered that NorthUnion Gang members were using oil barrels as cover to transport drugs across thecountry. The case was indicted by the Taipei District Prosecutor, and the Taipei District court made the verdict in March,2022. The eight defendants were sentenced to 3~7 years for attempted second-degree drug smuggling. The task forceofficers stated that the gangsters were suspected of trafficking drugs by the same M.O. for a long time. As such, officersanalyzed the gangsters’ transportation pattern and found another batch of 40 kilograms drug in an abandoned vehicle inthe Taipei Mountain area, and a total of 85 kilograms of the second-class drug methamphetamine was seized. Based onthe content of the suspects’ communications and drug packaging materials, the officers believed that these drugs did notcome from the traditional Golden Triangle region. In order to trace the source of the drugs, TCGA requested the DEATaipei Office for identification. The DEA confirmed that the drug was manufactured in Middle-East. The DEA alsocross-referenced the suspects’ communication data with its database and found that Pakistan criminals were involved inthe syndicate. Officers believed that the drug came to Taiwan via Pakistan and its neighboring countries. This is the firsttime Taiwan seized drug made in the Middle East region. The task force believes that Taiwanese drug cartels have brokenthe traditional drug production and transportation routes and begun to cooperate with Middle East drug cartels. Inresponse to this brand new drug industry chain, the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office has made a case report, askingthe national drug enforcement agencies to take strict precautions.

There was less surveillance then, and the two sides were more friendly,fishing the same waters, occasionally selling to each other on the sly. “We were like brothers, we had a goodrelationship, they would even cook for us,” he says. “But…now the control has become stricter, the [Chinese]coast guard will call me if the boats are too close.” Now a tour boat captain, Lu says if he even gets close tothe prohibited waters line-a de facto sea border with China-he’ll get a swift warning over the radio fromthe coast guard. Lu and his boat are travelling through the busy waters surrounding Kinmen County, anarchipelago controlled by Taiwan but sitting just kilometers away from China.Chinese officials have publicly rejected the existence of the prohibited waters line. Such a statementis consistent with Beijing’s claim over Taiwan, but the line had been tacitly respected since its demarcationin the 1990s. The Chinese Communist party [CCP] government claims Taiwan (including Kinmen) as aChinese province, and has become increasingly hostile in its pursuit of annexation, as Taiwan’sgovernment and people only grow more opposed. Despite the political tensions that exist, Kinmen-Xiamenis one area where official cooperation has actually managed to continue, with joint efforts to crack downon illegal fishing and smuggling, and on search and rescue missions. But a fatal capsize of a “three-noes”boat-no name, no registration, no flag-last month has threatened to derail it and raised serious questionsabout the strength of the border.
