China’s Role in the Fentanyl Crisis

Fentanyl is a poison that is afflicting every community in this country. This poison is synthetic opioid, 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Just 2 milligrams equal to 10 to 15 grains of salt is enough to be lethal. It is vital to understand the essential role that China plays in the fentanyl crisis. China is the primary source of the know-how and illicit materials that Mexican cartels use to manufacture lethal synthetic opioids. Moreover, despite the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) publicly-professed policy against the export of dangerous drugs for illicit use, the CCP supports the Chinese companies that export fentanyl precursors by offering them government benefits and preferential tax policies.
