Chinese chemical companies are playing a major role in the U.S. fentanyl crisis as the main producers of ingredients needed to make the drug.
Strained relations between Beijing and Washington are undermining efforts to stop the flow of those chemical building blocks, and thus impeding the struggle against illicit fentanyl. …
A few years ago, a joint effort to limit the flow of illicit fentanyl was a successful point of collaboration in a tense U.S.-China relationship. In 2018, China restricted the production and sale of two of the most common ingredients for the drug, a move that won it praise from the U.S.
Since then, the U.S. has adopted a tougher posture toward China, while China has also grown more assertive about defending its interests. As a consequence, the cooperation on combating the drug trade has broken down.
[Or perhaps one reason for the breakdown in the relationship is that China wasn’t performing to its agreements on the illicit drug trade, which has grown steadily worse even during the period of this supposed cooperation. — Ed]
This isn’t exactly new information. It’s also not news that Biden is bought and paid by the CCP. The blood of more 107,000 Americans are on Biden’s hand because he is beholden to foreign interests for personal gain.
We don’t have time to bother with Mexico. We are super busy planning our reenactment of the Battle of Kursk!
Chemical warfare from China on Americans enabled by corrupt politicians who profit from it.

That’s a good way to look at it.
It is a doctrine of total warfare; information, cyber, economic, chemical, and biological. The missing component is kinetic. Not all are required to win. Who thinks the moron in chief understands that? Or the morons in Congress?
hard to win the war when the DC politihacks are 90% owned by China
What is not being mentioned is that the whole of the Mexican drug operation is run by the PAP, a branch of the PLA, specializing in overseas operations. The PAP in Mexico receives the precursor chemicals from China, then resells them to the drug cartels, who make the drugs.
Every one seems to imagine that only Mexican run cartels are operating in Mexico, but no one mentions the Chinese one.
PAP stands for Peoples Armed Police
FWIW from Wiki:
