Where does fentanyl come from? (hexbear.net)

If you google this question, “where does fentanyl come from?” You get a results page filled with “China” and “Mexico”. I have a suspicion that the fentanyl “pouring over our southern border” narrative is mostly BS and that it’s coming from inside the house, but can anybody point me towards the facts? Thank you

Dude, the CPC literally offered to directly assist the USA in stopping the fentanyl trade, but the imperialists couldn't play nice long enough to get anything done before pissing them off.

They can say that, but why would they want to actually stop it? It is good for them and bad for the empire, I'm surprised people aren't cheering it on.

Because it's wrong and bad, regardless of who would be target by this? Lmao wtf is this take?

It’s the same take as any other intelligence agency or military strategist would have. I don’t believe the Chinese intelligence is trafficking drugs like the CIA. In fact, western media have reported that China’s rich businessmen have been feeling threatened by China’s crackdown on businesses and wealth, so they work with cartels to move their money around to evade Chinese laws.

I just think China is in no rush to crack down on drug manufacturers as long as the bulk of it isn’t affecting chinese society. But they will come after you if your wealth empowers China’s enemies.
