President Biden is expected to announce a controversial deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed at slowing the deadly flood of fentanyl across the United States.
The two leaders are tipped to announce a deal as they meet Wednesday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco, one of the cities most blighted by what has become the deadliest drug in the US.
“We’re hoping to see some progress on that issue this coming week,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Monday, ahead of the meeting.
“That could then open the door to further cooperation on other issues where we aren’t just managing things, but we’re actually delivering tangible results,” he added.
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it is willing to carry out anti-drug trafficking measures with the US on the basis of “equality and mutual respect,” according to Bloomberg.
Under the terms of the agreement, China would crack down on chemical companies making the compounds used to produce fentanyl, sources familiar with the negotiations told Bloomberg.
However, some experts warn the deal may fall apart if the Biden administration continues to be critical of Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party — while many Republicans see it as part of Biden making “repeated concessions” to Beijing.
The Chinese embassy in Washington has also criticized the move, with a spokesman saying in May: “The US sanctions against Chinese companies and citizens will add more obstacles to China-US counter-narcotics cooperation.”
Chinese businesses are supplying Mexican drug cartels with the chemicals used to make fentanyl — an opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine.

I’m, Xi has absolutely nothing to do with Mexican cartels treating the southern border like the sieve it is and distributing Fentanyl across the so-called “sovereign country” President Droolbucket allegedly governs and serves to protect its citizens.
Tragically laughable!
When a couple of mass-murdering totalitarians agree on anything, its gonna be bad for the folks.
Revenge for the Opium Wars.
Does the US have legitimate companies that produce fentanyl? From experience with a bad case of pancreatitis (very painful) last year, the highly respected hospital used a very small dose to ease the pain. I asked the Doctor what they used that worked so quickly, thinking it was demerol or morphine. He said an medically authorized dosage of fentanyl.
I looked at him and said isn't that drug killing thousands of people? He got a sad look on his face and said yes because of the doses the addicts take. They don't know the percentage of any amount they buy on the streets. He reminded me it happens with heroin and morphine overdoses every day at St. Joseph's Hospital, but kills more because it's so easy to get and less expensive and being imported from China in mass quantities.
My point: Biden should tell his buddy Xi no more will the US import that drug when we can manufacture our own under FDA approval.
Lemme guess....Slow Joe only spent $12 billion of our money to do it!
RE: Revenge for the Opium Wars.
If this were so, I would expect more Fentanyl in the UK. They were the main perpetrators of selling Opium to China, not the US.
This agreement will be ignored and forgotten 1 week after it’s signed - same as the promise to restart border wall construction.
It is there also, but China views the US as part of European.
IE, the West.
The flow of fentanyl into the USA is not Xi’s responsibility. It is Biden’s.
The Chinese are shipping fentanyl in order to destroy us. RATs are cowards who let it happen. Pubes,too. All for money.
Biden expected to announce deal with China’s Xi Jinping to help slow flood of fentanyl into US.
Going to have it FDA approved?.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Claim: Biden regime is going to make a del with China to "slow" the flood of fentanyl.
What's wrong with this picture? Suddenly Biden is going to double cross the cartels by stopping fentanyl forever? No need to convince people who will not vote for Biden, because the media will help him conceal the truth.
Ah. So, they are openly admitting that the infusion of these death causing drugs is intentional, it is caused by the ChiComs, and we are going to politely ask them to stop.
Got it.
That’s like Elliot Ness making a deal with Capone.
By the time prohibition ended, gangsters had moved into legitimate businesses.
BS...XI is delivering instead of using Banks.
Yeah, and that will be so enforceable too!
Well, if not, we can always trust them to keep their word anyway.
I HONESTLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW HUNTER HAS AVOIDED FENTANYL UP TO NOW.
So China admits they are flooding this country with fentanyl and yada, yada, yada..........LOL!
Just deport any drug dealers to China for “quick trial”
...President Xi approves.
