There is enough undisputed malfeasance on China's part, if only the fentanyl crisis alone in America today, to say where there's smoke there's fire.

Fentanyl was first prepared and developed by Dr. Paul Janssen in 1959 under a patent held by his company Janssen Pharmaceutica. (see https://www.news-medical.net/health/Fentanyl-History.aspx). According to the DEA, "Clandestinely-produced fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico." (see https://www.dea.gov/factsheets/fentanyl). Seems like its closest association with China is several street names. Try again.

I think you and the DEA are correct in this. However, my understanding is that the precursor ingredients for fentanyl are sold to the cartels by Chinese manufacturers that the CCP chooses not to regulate in this regard. That's my try.

It's mostly made in China, then shipped through the port of Lazaro Cardenas in Michocan, MX, and smuggled here. Both are complicit.
