Members of the US congress are calling the influx of chinese fentanyl an act of asymmetric war against the United States. The Drug Enforcement Agency estimates 90% of fentanyl comes from Chinese companies that not only operate legally inside China but are also subsidized and paid for by the Chinese communist Party. In 2022 over 107,000 Americans died from overdoses in the United States, and fentanyl poisoning became the leading cause of death of Americans 18-45 years of age.
Fentanyl is the next generation of Heroin. As long as this is still on the black market and not going through labs and doseage totally controlled this is just going to get so much worse. Especially if other stuff comes out from the same place and gets contaminated. Trying to blame this on China though is a cop out. The US did it with the Crack crisis and the and Heroin in the Middle East.
