While chatting with my brother in China yesterday, he brought up the news about a joint sting op between FBI and Shanghai Police.
The smuggling ring shipped guns using common carriers, UPS I believe. Chinese customs X-ray incoming packages and found some packages marked as audio/video equipments looked odd. The Chinese guy in Shanghai got busted red-handed when he showed up to pick up the package (package marked for in-person pickup only).
Chinese police arrested 23 suspects, 66 guns and 50,000+ rounds of ammunition. (from Chinese news source).

A soldier with an elite National Guard unit has been arrested and charged with illegally smuggling sophisticated firearms - including assault rifles and pistols - from New York City to China.
Federal prosecutors say that Joseph Debose, a staff sergeant in a U.S. National Guard Special Forces Unit in North Carolina, was caught packing a loaded .45-caliber pistol and in possession of a dozen guns that he was allegedly planning to ship to China.
"Joseph Debose is a member of the special forces community," Brooklyn Assistant US Attorney Seth DuCharme told a federal judge earlier today.
