Chinese customs arrested a woman who was transporting contraband in a fake pregnant belly while returning to the country. The young woman was crossing the border between Macau, an independent territory, and Zhuhai, a city in Guangdong province near Hong Kong. She was going through customs at Gunbei Port when an official noticed that she was behaving strangely.
The woman was going through customs in a simple brown maternity dress when an official noticed that her posture was uncharacteristic of a pregnant woman in her third trimester. When she was separated from the others and asked about her pregnancy, she said she was 5-6 months pregnant, despite looking like she was almost due. Customs officers examined her and found an artificial stomach with a large supply of various devices hidden inside.
She packed 202 Intel processors and 9 iPhones into blocks, wrapped them in cling film, and then taped the blocks to her stomach. Details about the detected devices are not reported. Judging by the photos published on social networks, these are Intel processors in LGA 1700, i.e. Alder Lake or Rocket Lake. The smartphones look like black iPhone X or XS models. If all processors are high-end, their total cost can approach $100,000.

Smuggling is common at the Chinese border due to high import taxes. Smugglers have repeatedly tried to cross the border with processors and phones attached to their bodies.
