China Denies Fentanyl Trafficking to Mexico

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat

Chinese President Xi Jingping.

"There is no such thing as illegal trafficking of fentanyl between China and Mexico," China's foreign ministry said, responding to a letter from the Mexican president asking Beijing to help limit illicit flows of the deadly drug.

"China has not been notified by Mexico about any seizure of fentanyl from China," ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular briefing.


"The U.S. needs to face up to its own problems and take more substantive measures to strengthen regulation within its borders and reduce demand," Mao said, referring to drug abuse as a problem "made in the U.S."

Mexico's president said on Tuesday he had written to Chinese President Xi Jinping, urging him to help control shipments of fentanyl as he fended off criticism in the U.S. that Mexico is not doing enough to stop the trafficking of the synthetic opioid. "We come to you, President Xi Jinping, not to ask for your support in the face of these rude threats, but to request that for humanitarian reasons, you help us control shipments of fentanyl that can be sent from China to our country," he said.

The letter and China's response did not mention supplies of the precursor chemicals used to make the drug. The DEA says both finished fentanyl and precursors are transported from China to Mexico, the United States, and Canada, often by international mail.

Fentanyl, widely used in hospitals during anesthesia and for pain relief, has become a major black-market narcotic in the United States. Mexican drug cartels have increasingly taken part in the illegal business.

Lopez Obrador says fentanyl laboratories have sprung up in Mexico, and he told Xi that law enforcement had last year destroyed nearly 1,400 clandestine labs mixing the drug with other substances, and seized seven tonnes of it.

A Reuters report found that many of the labs were inactive.

But Lopez Obrador says Mexico does not produce fentanyl and that cartels buy it direct from Asia. He said in the letter that only 30% of the drug consumed in the U.S. enters via Mexico.

Overdoses of opioids killed more than 100,000 people in the 2022 U.S. fiscal year, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador defended efforts to curb drug supply in the March 22 letter, while rounding on U.S. critics, some of whom want Washington to intervene militarily in Mexico.

U.S. officials contest the view that fentanyl is not produced in Mexico, arguing the opioid is mass-produced in the country using chemicals sourced largely from China.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has been at the forefront of U.S. pressure on Mexico, and on Monday he said he would put forward legislation on fentanyl that would include designating Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said countering the fentanyl threat was a top priority, and he pushed back against Graham's criticism, saying the vast majority of people arrested in the U.S. for trafficking fentanyl are Americans.

"There's no other country in the world that's doing as much against fentanyl trafficking to the United States as Mexico," Ebrard told the news conference.

    1. @ Detroit YT channel called The Shawn Ryan Show, guest Andrew Bustamante, allegedly ex CIA operative speaks on this subject, and many other current ones.
      He basically said that if the China Gov. had been involved there would have been buffer countries and not a Chinese caught in MX.

    4. @617 & @914 — Bullshit.. show me ONE load that was busted and was finished fent.. let alone any load(s) of precursors*

      *I say this because even if we see labs being busted in MX, nothing has/is been to stop the flow of precursors… thus production remains unfettered 🦉

      It's not about busted shipments. You can buy directly from China through a network of secrete dark web sites or openly on the regular web but under code names. I knew a guy that was getting finished product from China through a middle eastern country. When he got sloppy he was having it shipped through the middle eastern country, then the Netherlands, and then directly to the US into the shipping department of an auto parts store as cover. He's in prison now.

    6. @603 — yeah you can buy small to do what substantial amounts online from China, but considering the cartels have all the infrastructure they need to make the shit.. along with the ability to buy precursors by the ton, why the hell would they need to spend more money and risk on getting product from China??

      2) Almost every country in the world has taken territories for whatever reasons they find fit.
      3) Aswell almost every country in the world sells chemicals that poison people.
      I'd be more concerned about the government corruption and the narrative they force on people every day. That has caused so much trouble around the world.

    3. 2.17. It isn't that they lacked the balls, it's that they understood that China had become a voracious capitalist economy, the literal opposite of communism, so they had the brains to not say something really stupid. One party oppression is not ''Communism''.

    5. @2.17. So which president are you talking about that had such Big Balls? Because China hasn't been a communist country for decades. If you don't mean Nixon you must mean Trump, who has business ties to China that kept a lot of his businesses afloat at the expense of the blue collar workers he got to to vote for him, eventually at the cost of their own jobs.

The abuse of fentanyl and Heroin seems to make people forget that it serves a legitimate purpose that will always be abused. Blaming the US for having so many drug addicts is simplistic, but blaming China for selling chemicals is just ignorant.

And be honest if us Americans stopped consuming drugs completely the cartels would not exist. Truth hurts but how can you blame people for making money off our drug addiction. That's litterly the American way. And the US gov is so shady, act like they don't kill people or minupulate us. Let's rich people get away with anything such as rape murder corruption. Anything the cartels do we do to. We just cover it up and lie about it till the lie becomes the truth. LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

Drugs are consumed in Mexico and all of South America, Europe, Asia you name it every continent on the planet except for Antarctica there are people who consume all types of mind altering substances, and it’s very helpful for everyone to have dialogue where we sit around and blame each other, but playing the blame game is not going to help anybody in any country

Fentanyl is even 100% guaranteed to arrive in an undetectable consignment, usually inside glass vials. I’ve got about 5 different chemical companies in China that pester me monthly asking if I want to place an another order. Even advertising they got some new Isotonitazene that’s 200x stronger than fentanyl. They got it all at any amount you please. You contact them on the web and then they give you an alternative telegram address to contact them on. It’s cheap and they got all these young lady’s selling it online like it’s aspirin. I’ve never had a male salesman it’s always young lady’s that flirt with you while trying to ply you with any damn chemical you please.
