The CIA did the exact same thing with KMT soldiers in Burma smuggling heroin in the 1970s. It's in The Politics of Heroin by Alfred McCoy. A great book if you want to understand the interplay between intelligence agencies and drug dealers.
Then they exchanged heroin for fake heroin and burned the fake heroin for US journalists. There is nothing new under in the sun in our stupid war on drugs.

It's fascinating stuff. https://americanexception.com/private-war-enterprise-in-asia-air-america-the-brook-club-and-the-kuomintang/ https://americanexception.com/private-war-enterprise-in-asia...
