Writing for the Hudson Institute, former Attorney General William Barr and John P. Walters write about China’s involvement in the illegal drug trade. A key quote:
A recent report by the bipartisan (House) Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) shows that China’s participation in the illegal drug trade is a deliberate policy.
According to the report, the Chinese government and the CCP has been granting tax subsidies to encourage their drug companies to produce and export – for consumption in the U.S. – fentanyl and other death-dealing drugs that are illegal in China, the U.S. and throughout the world.
This is an intolerable situation. The U.S. must compel China to stop producing these drugs by imposing an escalating series of consequences on those involved.
Something to add to Trump’s list of problems awaiting early solution. Perhaps Stefanik can pursue this at the UN.
Maybe the cartels can get the precursor chemicals elsewhere, but that’s a problem for another day. Those other sources won’t be as well defended as China is.
