Police arrested seven suspects, including four Chinese nationals and three Philippine nationals at the drug factory on a farm.

Another four suspects were arrested in east China's Fujian Province.

Half-made methamphetamine,drug-making raw materials and equipment were seized in the joint operation.

Clue to the cross-border drug manufacture and sales case was uncovered last September by Fujian police, who learned that a drug baron was planning to hire Chinese workers to make methamphetamine in the Philippines.
