Yellen on Report CCP Subsidizes Fentanyl Precursors: They’ve Had ‘Helpful Developments’ But We’d ‘Like to See More’
Breitbart ^ | 06/22/2024 | Ian hatchett

On Friday’s broadcast of WBUR’s “Here and Now,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reacted to reports raising the possibility that the Chinese Communist Party directly subsidizes the makers of precursor chemicals for fentanyl — a claim backed by a report by the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party — by stating that “we have seen the PRC take some very helpful steps.” And “there have been helpful developments with China.” But “We would like to see more steps and we would like to see the support sustained.”

Co-host Scott Tong asked, [relevant exchange begins around 5:15] “[M]adam Secretary, there are reports suggesting that the Chinese government may be directly subsidizing these fentanyl chemical entities with tax rebates. So, I guess, the question is, is Beijing helping or curtailing this side of the industry?”

I think it’s time for Yellen to head off to the rest home. She can share a room with Biden.

...we have seen the PRC take some very helpful steps...

Is anyone relieved by hearing about ..."helpful steps"?

BTW, I'm not understanding why this isn't more of a job for the SOS rather than the SecTreas. Anybody?

Idiots in the US buy fenanyl, become homeless trash, wreck US cities. $$$$ move via gangs to Mexico and Central America.

Gangs/drugs cartels pay the CCP $$$ for precursors used to make the fentanyl.

CCP “funds” Hunter Biden ventures, probably a lot more on the take.

Hunter pays Joe’s bills.

When the Biden administration says the CCP is being real helpful on this issue, they aren’t kidding.
