According to experts, chemical plants in China have emerged as major suppliers for Mexican drug cartels and other criminal gangs producing synthetic drugs, including fentanyl and methamphetamines.
The Biden administration described China's new rules - increasing government oversight on seven chemicals - as a 'valuable step forward' in the fight to curb U.S. overdose deaths.
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated, 'We're going to look for further progress on counter-narcotics and the flow of illicit synthetic drugs into the United States.'
Drug policy experts voiced skepticism about China's new fentanyl rules, questioning whether they will be backed with meaningful enforcement.
