IFA has long reported on China’s war with America, and has published numerous special report prayer guides on it. Drug-related deaths have killed more Americans than were lost in World War II. 

From The Epoch Times. In April, lawmakers passed the FEND OFF Fentanyl Act, which sanctions people and international drug trafficking organizations that are linked to trading illicit fentanyl and fentanyl precursors. But critics say more needs to be done because China and the cartels appear to be purposely targeting Americans.

Some have called the fentanyl crisis a modern-day Opium War, which broke out in 1839 between the British and Chinese. It got its name from the British opium smuggling operation that shipped the narcotic out of Indian colonies into Chinese ports against the wishes of the Chinese government.

The committee pointed to Chinese general Qiao Liang publicly discussing “drug warfare that causes disasters in other countries while making huge profits” as a warfare tactic.

The investigation found that more than 97 percent of “precursors” or chemicals used in fentanyl production come from China.

Top Chinese officials and the CCP are involved in money laundering schemes from the sale of fentanyl chemicals that use cryptocurrency, according to the committee’s findings, and Mexican transnational criminal organizations have made tens of millions of dollars of cryptocurrency payments to Chinese chemical producers for fentanyl precursors.

China promotes the production of fentanyl through government subsidies in the form of rebates for companies that produce it.

According to the select committee, China protects fentanyl-producing companies inside its borders as long as the precursors are sold outside of China.

Companies can operate inside the CCP to make fentanyl analog chemicals such as alfentanil and 3-methylfentanyl to produce fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid, the committee found.

Their investigation revealed the CCP protects fentanyl traffickers.

Retired senior U.S. law enforcement officials told the committee they alerted their Chinese counterparts of fentanyl trafficking in China, but those concerns fell on deaf ears.

They said that instead of helping, the CCP warned the companies that U.S. law enforcement was on to them.

In early 2024, the committee reviewed seven e-commerce websites and found more than 31,000 Chinese companies selling illegal drugs, with some guaranteeing they would bypass U.S. Customs. . . .

During a July 12 Hudson Institute presentation on the fentanyl crisis, Raymond Donovan, former director of operations with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), said CCP members are often on the executive board of Chinese chemical companies.

“We also recognize that several of the chemical companies that we investigated were actually state-owned,” said Mr. Donovan, who testified before the Select Committee on the CCP.

Mr. Donovan said China is involved in supplying fentanyl to Mexico, which then makes it into the United States and tears at the social fabric of the country while China gets rich off selling it.

“They see it as an American problem,” Mr. Donovan said. . . .

“The new vehicle for distribution is social media platforms across America,” Mr. Donovan said. . . .

China understands that the Mexican cartels already have a network of distribution established in cities and towns across America, Mr. Blair said. The cartels use scattershot tactics to smuggle drugs through ports of entry, by drone, tunnels, cartel “mules,” and even crop dusters.
