In this March 27, 2019, photo, people eat at an outdoor night market in Xi'an, northwestern China's Shaanxi Province, similar to one at which Yin Hao, who also goes by Yin Qiang, was injured during a fight that led to his initial prescription for Tylox. Officially, pain pill abuse is an American problem, not a Chinese one. But people in China have fallen into opioid abuse the same way many Americans did, through a doctor's prescription. And despite China's strict regulations, online trafficking networks, which facilitated the spread of opioids in the U.S., also exist in China. (Photo by Mark Schiefelbein/AP Photo)
