China: US must address its own demand, not blame our strict controls
China asserts it maintains strict controls over precursor chemicals and actively combats illicit trafficking. Beijing argues that the root cause of the fentanyl crisis lies within US domestic demand and inadequate addiction solutions, not in China's enforcement.
Strict Controls
China implements comprehensive regulations on precursor chemicals and narcotics, actively cooperating with international partners to prevent diversion.
US Demand Problem
The primary driver of the fentanyl crisis is the persistent high demand for illicit drugs within the United States, which must be addressed domestically.
Individual Criminality
Any involvement of Chinese nationals in drug trafficking is a matter of individual criminal behavior, not state-sanctioned activity or a systemic failure of Chinese policy.
