China’s Alliance With Mexican Cartels Continues to Fuel Deadly Fentanyl Crisis in US: Former DEA Official

Distributing and trafficking fentanyl to the United States is the “perfect tool” in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) campaign of “unrestricted warfare” against the West, according to a former division head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

“They are not dropping bombs or putting armies on the ground in America, but they’re still killing Americans at record levels,” said Derek Maltz, former head of the Special Operations Division of the DEA, referring to the CCP’s plan to destabilize the country using unconventional forms of warfare.

“They’re taking advantage of massive, addicted population in America.”

Maltz’s warning comes as a new report found that China remains the primary source for the trafficking of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances in the United States, despite the Chinese regime banning the drug in 2019. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s 50 times more potent than heroin.

The Aug. 24 report (pdf) by the U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission also found that while direct shipments to the United States have declined since the ban, Mexico is playing an expanding role in the explosion of fentanyl addictions and deaths around the country.

Americans are being killed at record levels, the former DEA official said, and “it’s all because of massive chemical flow from China.”

In 2020, during the pandemic, deaths from overdoses of synthetic opioids, mostly from fentanyl, surged to a record of more than 56,000—an increase of 20,000 from the year earlier, according to provisional data by National Center for Health Statistics.

The country is facing the worst drug crisis in its history, the alliance between China and the cartels could be the top day-to-day threat impacting America’s future.”

According to the report, the Chinese regime’s “weak supervision and regulation” of its chemical industry has aided the efforts of Chinese fentanyl traffickers.

The Afghani’s are making meth after discovering there’s a naturally growing plant that produces ephedra.

So, now Chinas alliance with the Cartels and the Taliban are going to flood this country with even more meth, heroin and hash. Not to mention safe passage for terrorists on Chinese ships headed to Mexico, so said terrorists can then make their way north to cross, what used to be our southern border, and do terrorist sh*t here.
