SYDNEY, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Authorities have arrested eight people for allegedly smuggling 90 liters of liquid methamphetamine on a fishing boat off Australia's eastern coast following a joint China-Australia operation, the Australian Federal Police said on Thursday.
Australian and Chinese authorities established Taskforce Blaze in November 2015 to combat the production and transhipment of methamphetamine and other illegal narcotics along the China-Australia corridor.
The task force is the only joint partnership Chinese authorities have with any foreign agency.
"This successful operation again shows how law enforcement agencies from China and Australia working shoulder to shoulder with strong determination to combat multinational drug crimes, can have a strong impact on organised crime," Chinese officer in charge of the Command Center of Taskforce Blaze Deng Jianwei said in a statement.
