Now see the highlights above. For the US ambassador to China to say “China is not contributing to the fentanyl problem” is only true in the narrowest technical sense. It’s Chinese companies that are shipping fentanyl precursors and pill-making machinery to the Mexican cartels. China government could stop it, but doesn’t. Does that mean it’s “not contributing”?
My view is China could be doing more, should be doing more, but is not. It’s leveraging the deaths of 100,000 Americans every year, for political pressure against the US.
Headline above: ”Cooperation in science benefits both China and the US”. Perhaps. I’d be interested to know the net flow of scientific knowledge China ➡️ ⬅️ US.
