The CIA's plan is to get 30% of China addicted to Afghan smack.

Poppy is responsible for an astounding 30-50% of Afghanistan’s GDP, a fact rarely discussed in media coverage of the war there.

Throughout the 20th century, the United States government—the CIA in particular—has forged clandestine relationships with governments and criminal organizations that traffic drugs in order to achieve its foreign policy goals.

Could you point out which of your links (and where in it) proves that the CIA has a plan to get 30% of Chinese addicted to Afghan smack?

I clicked the first link and it was just a wiki article, don't feel like wading.

Opium use also apparently affected Chinese population outside China. In the USA, for instance, some estimates suggested that 30 percent of adult males of Chinese origin were addicted to opium smoking. Even higher proportions were reported for Chinese living in a number of Southeast Asian countries.

When I said I didn't see anything in the links proving your claim about CIA trying to get 30% of Chinese addicted, repasting the exact same links again doesn't help. Apparently you can't support your position.
