Yreka, California—Siskiyou County is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It sits against the towering backdrop of Mount Shasta and is surrounded by more than a million acres of farmland and forest. But in recent years, Chinese nationals have invaded this serene Northern California paradise to build an illegal cannabis empire.
Chinese nationals, including some associated with the Chinese Communist Party, run massive illegal marijuana operations just beneath Mount Shasta. They and the county’s other illegal growers rake in billions of dollars per year, and terrorize the rural community with shootings, gang violence, and trafficking. This massive criminal enterprise operates in the shadows of America’s most populous state.

OTTAWA — More than a century and a half ago, China learned a brutal lesson about the strategic power of narcotics.
During the nineteenth-century Opium Wars, British commercial interests, backed ultimately by military power, exploited China’s enormous market for opium.

In a Stockholm suburb a man dressed in black appeared out of the winter night. Carrying a handgun, he approached 20-year-old Murad Abdelkader, a student on his way back from a shift at McDonald’s.
The gunman opened fire, shooting again and again as he approached his target. He fired the last shot into his victim’s head as he lay helpless on the ground.
The killer was 18-year-old Atilla Azimov. On that February night last year, he had killed the wrong man.
TORONTO — Citing newly unsealed police warrant documents, CBC News has added significant new details to the profile of the accused Ryan Wedding cartel member uncovered in York Regional Police’s explosive Project South investigation — which alleges that the suspect, Gurpreet Singh, was involved in a plot to assassinate a senior Ontario jail official.
