CHINA: Chinese state media says fentanyl abuse is entirely U.S. responsibility
(RTRS) 
- Chinese state media on Friday hit back at claims by U.S. officials that China
was failing to crack down on the flow of fentanyl and fentanyl-related
substances into the United States, saying that responsibility for opioid abuse
lay with users.
- The United States was "pushing responsibility" for fentanyl abuse to China and
ignoring that Beijing had implemented strict controls on the highly addictive
synthetic opioid, reported The People's Daily newspaper, published by the ruling
Communist Party.
- U.S. officials say China is the main source of illicit fentanyl and
fentanyl-related substances that are trafficked into the United States, much of
it through international mail. Beijing denies that most of the illicit fentanyl
entering the United States originates in China.
