Fentanyl Flowing Into US Overwhelmingly Sourced From China
By Chriss Street

China’s “export-led economic strategy and lack of regulatory oversight” are responsible for most illicit and synthetic fentanyl in the United States, think tank Rand Corporation recently testified to Congress.

The global policy think tank told the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee that the rising opioid epidemic was initially fueled by an oversupply of prescription oxycodone and hydrocodone, but by 2019 morphed into an illicit synthetic opioid crisis causing “approximately two-thirds of all opioid overdose deaths.”

Pharmaceutically-pure fentanyl is an opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. The compound was approved in 1968 as a transdermal skin patch for pain management treatment of very sick cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or hospice.

If this is true, all trade should be suspended with China until they begin operating like a legitimate nation.  Frankly, if not one more item manufactured there arrived on our shores, no loss.  Screw China.

Trump is aware of the Fentanyl  coming from China, and Mexico.

Communist Red China, is out to become the sole world superpower, by any means necessary.

Stealing intellectual property, supporting NK, Iran, slave labor, military buildup, propoganda, including collaboration with Google and but a few aspects of ur challenge.

This should be no surprise - Opiates have been flowing from China since the Chinese came over to work on the railroad.

It sounds like often, the ingredients are mailed from China but assembled here or in Mexico.  There's a lot to research. I believe I have read that said.
