A Myanmar woman has been detained on suspicion of drug trafficking in southwest China's Yunnan Province, local police said Tuesday.
Police with Longchuan County said that they also confiscated 19 kg of opium from the woman, after a tip-off led to her detention on Sunday.
The suspect said she transported the drugs from abroad and planned to sell them in Dehong prefecture, which administers Longchuan.
Further investigation is under way.
China stepped up efforts in recent years to control illegal drug transportation in Yunnan, the forefront of the country's fight against illegal drugs. Endi
