  • China the drug pusher nation

    From Jedi Master@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 5 23:38:51 2023
    The Mexican president says his country has proof that illegal shipments of the powerful opioid drug fentanyl are arriving from China.

    A container with hidden packages of the drug was intercepted in the Pacific port of Lázaro Cárdenas, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said.

    "We already have proof," he said, adding that he would ask the Chinese government to help stop the shipments.

    US authorities say fentanyl is now the main driver of US drug overdose deaths.

    In March President López Obrador said he had written to Chinese President Xi Jinping requesting Chinese help in the anti-narcotics fight, after US politicians had urged him to do so.

    He told reporters on Friday that he would repeat that plea to Beijing: "In a very respectful manner, we are going to send this information to reiterate the request that they help us."

    USA politicians urged Mexico to record complaints for (potential?)
    future use/reference (by USA). Waste not want not.

    Shit happens. One container _alone_ proves little.
    Never underestimate power of huge enough profit margin especially in capitalism. USA Alcohol Prohibition had failed spectacularly, hadn't it?
