10/26 H.R.7091 - COMBATTING ILLICIT FENTANYL ACT OF 2018

Check it - this bill focuses on Fentanyl SPECIFICALLY from China and China vehemently denies it.

(4) The Drug Enforcement Administration reports that of the illicit fentanyl class substances and hundreds of other designer drugs it has identified, “the vast majority … are manufactured in China”. In 2018, a year-long congressional probe found that illicit fentanyl could easily be bought online from Chinese “labs” and mailed to the United States due to gaps in oversight in the United States Postal Service, and despite increased cooperation between United States and Chinese counter-narcotics agencies, illicit fentanyl is still shipped to the United States.

(6) In June 2018, $1.7 million worth of Chinese fentanyl was detected by counternarcotics agents in a Philadelphia port during a routine inspection, China has publicly gone to great lengths to shirk responsibility for illicit fentanyl emanating out of the country, and in June 2018, Chinese official Liu Yuejin blamed the crisis on the American people, saying “When fewer and fewer Americans use fentanyl, there would be no market for it”, ignoring the Chinese supply of the illicit substance, and China fails to effectively regulate precursor chemicals, including fentanyl precursors.
