A chemistry professor in China has been arrested for producing hundreds of kilograms of psychoactive drugs bound for the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia, CNN Reported.

Discovering that certain drugs were in high demand while in Australia as a visiting academic, the man surnamed Zhang, set up a lab to produce methylone, a commonly-used substitute for MDMA, Xinhua quoted police as saying.

Dubbed China's real-life Walter White, a reference to the fictional chemistry teacher and methamphetamine producer in the hit TV show "Breaking Bad", police said he'd sold at least 193kg of drugs, valued at millions of U.S. dollars.

On June 17, authorities raided Zhang's lab in Wuhan. Seven other people were arrested and about 20 kg of drugs were seized.

He is not the first professor in China to be arrested for cooking up illegal drugs. Back in May, a man surnamed Lu and 16 others were arrested for producing methcathinone, known as a "poor man's cocaine."
