Why is China refusing to stop the flow of fentanyl?

Consider fentanyl to be a weapon against the West, which China has no intention of curtailing.

If people are to stop dying, they MUST find a way to not use it. Get off fentanyl or die. Get off fentanyl and find a way to live, and take the pain of life.

Perhaps Magnitsky style sanctions on companies and executives producing fentanyl would be effective in reducing supply, but demand is the ultimate problem.

That’s interesting though it’s likley they’re just turning a blind eye to allow the peddlers to become billionaires and thinking of the dying Americans as icing on the cake. I’d wager to say they’d crack down if significant Chinese people died from it to see if they would clamp down.
