[Explanation] In order to obtain high profits, a woman "purchased" Chinese-controlled psychotropic drugs in Japan and mailed them to China many times.
On the afternoon of April 19, Beijing Chaoyang Court held a public hearing on the case. The woman was sentenced to three years and six months in prison for drug smuggling.

What is your occupation in Japan?
I am a pharmaceutical wholesaler.
What kind of medicines do you buy for your customers?
In Japan, it belongs to (treatment) mild anxiety and moderate insomnia drugs, all three.
Did you know that this drug is regulated in China?
I just know in twos and threes, not particularly clear, just through some media.
I felt that control was a controlled drug, and I thought it had nothing to do with me.
I don't know which ones are specifically controlled, but I know that (in China) it is definitely prohibited. Is that what you mean?
right.
[Explanation] According to Wang Mou's confession, some people around her have been held accountable for reselling controlled drugs before, but in order to obtain high profits, she still took luck and sent multiple packages of drugs to the country one after another.
In November 2021, Wang was arrested and brought to justice by the public security organs after returning to China.

The facts of the crime are clear and the evidence is indeed sufficient. He should be held criminally responsible for the crime of drug smuggling. .

In view of the fact that after he was brought to justice, he truthfully confessed his crimes and voluntarily pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, and the court gave him a lighter punishment in accordance with the law.

[Concurrent] Yang Ni, Judge of the Criminal Division of the People's Court of Chaoyang District, Beijing
Everyone may know about methamphetamine, marijuana, and heroin. These are drugs in the traditional sense. Such state-controlled drugs, including narcotics and psychotropic drugs, are also drugs in our strict sense. "Criminal Law" is clearly stipulated.
These so-called drugs that can treat symptoms such as insomnia and anxiety purchased on behalf of this case are actually psychotropic drugs that are strictly controlled by the state. Purchasing these drugs may constitute a corresponding drug crime.
