The Zheng drug trafficking organization was hardly clandestine. The Shanghai-based network sold synthetic narcotics, including deadly fentanyl, on websites posted in 35 languages, from Arabic and English to Icelandic and Uzbek.
The Chinese syndicate bragged that its laboratory could “synthesize nearly any” drug and that it churned out 16 tons of illicit chemicals a month. The group was so adept at smuggling, and so brazen in its marketing, that it offered a money-back guarantee to buyers if its goods were seized by U.S. or other customs agents.

“They see it as payback for the West pushing opium into China in the 19th century. “

Thanks to FDR’s Delano grandfather.

People putting dangerous drugs into their system is killing thousands of Americans. The chicoms are taking advantage of this colossal stupidity.
No one forces you to stick anything in your nose or vein or smoke anything
I’m tired of the poor me there’s nothing I can do crowd
They see it as part of Unrestricted Warfare. Download and read the book.
I learned that from a docent when I took the family to Hyde Park. I have to give credit to the docent for not hiding what would today seem to be an unseemly fact.
Mainly for money, there is an important ideological part of it:
It’s payback for their “Hundred Years of Humiliation” —Unfair treaties, trade concessions, Opium Wars, etc.
They see it as Getting Even with us.
China once was unquestionably the Drug Addict Headquarters of the world.
As our population gets older and has more difficulty sleeping as we age, I have no problem with those who need such drugs. That said, some side affects make people walk in their sleep and do stupid and dangerous stuff. I know of a case. However, most are not addicting and improve the quality of life through sound sleep.
Sorry folks, but the old advertisement, "better living through chemistry" is still true depending on need and reactions. Is there anyone on this board who has never taken an ibuprofen for a headache? Or what about sudafed or claritan for nasal congestion?
My only problem is the insane cost of prescription meds here in the States. I get that the pharmaceutical companies have to spend a gazillion dollars for research and then deal with the FDA. However, you can buy the same generic formula drugs out country. Not fair.
Chinese ‘never’ forget.....they well remember the Opium Wars and yes ‘payback’...
Legalize it all. Everything.
Self-cleaning oven.
Get rid of a few million in California, all right with me. At least people could get their final fix without having to resort to crime; go buy it at CVS and do your part to clean the gene pool.
Fentanyl plus has also been introduced.....people who take this have death wishes Imo. Anything for the high including death.
Don’t stick a needle in your arm, or chug down a fist full of pills, and you won’t be a victim of the war.
Oh puhlease. I don't know about China, but many countries are manufacturing and distributing the very same formulas at a fraction of the cost we pay for here in the States. You can go to Mexico and buy the same Ativan (sleep aid) for pennies on the dollar. Or you can order from overseas from India, Philippines, or even Ecuador and get the same formulation.
I get so tired of hearing this same old crap. As an adult, you need a drug that betters your heath or quality of life, you shouldn't have to pay up to 8 times as much in the US.
Blaking Bad
Western long-term thinking = 3 to 5 years
Chinese long-term thinking = 3 generations
Revenge for the Opium Dens.
They’ve never forgotten about that.
“They [The Chinese] see it as payback for the West [The British Empire] pushing opium into China in the 19th century.”
So, America is the target?
[WIKI] “The Opium Wars were two wars in the mid-19th century involving China and the British Empire over the British trade of opium and China’s sovereignty. The clashes included the First Opium War (1839–1842) and the Second Opium War (1856–1860). The wars and events between them weakened the Qing dynasty and forced China to trade with the other parts of the world. The victorious British were successful in inducing an opioid crisis in China, which seriously undermined Chinese society.”
America is the leader of “The West” in their eyes.
No one is forcing idiots to do drugs. They’ll find a way to kill themselves with or without Chinese fentanyl. Every one dead, is one less trying to sell to kids.
