Highly recommended read on how China managed to wage a covert war with USA with help of Fentanyl (and other such nefarious supplies).

Oh the irony, unless it's deliberate vengeance.

Oh man, it's so mean of China to get millions of Americans hooked on legal opioids and then just yank away the legal routes when it was finally impossible to ignore how hard Oxycontin had been pushed on average people and how destructive that was.

Oh wait, that's not what you are talking about.

The opioid epidemic would still be an epidemic without China. They are certainly doing their best to help it hurt, but we put ourselves into this mess.

Yeah I was wondering exactly this when reading this article. Are we ever going to investigate whether this is an intentional act by the CCP to surreptitiously weaken parts of our population?

If so, that would be egregious.

More egregious than the CCP deliberately stealing American companies intellectual property? Or monitoring the activity of our citizens via social media? Or manipulating American citizens via PsyOps campaigns?

Don't forget threatening and even kidnapping Chinese people inside the US

No... I never suggested that. But all those other instances are getting the right amount of press coverage (and more).
