China and HK have long histories of drug use and opium was widely used there prior to 1949. The Opium Wars were fought in China.

China certainly has drug problems, but it is not like in West: i'd have to search carefully to find one French guy of my generation or below that never tried hash. In China most Chinese I know never tried. It's just not the fashion yet. Only a very thin slice of the society is in contact with drugs.
