🇨🇳🇺🇸 CHINA JUST BLINKED ON FENTANYL AFTER A TARIFF SLAP FROM THE U.S.
After getting hit with tariffs, China finally agreed to crack down on chemicals used to make fentanyl, the drug killing thousands in the U.S.
They just banned two key ingredients starting July 20, which might help get those tariffs lifted.
Beijing still says it’s acting “independently” and called U.S. pressure straight-up blackmail.
Meanwhile, they’re arresting smugglers, seizing drugs by the ton, and just gave a former drug official a suspended death sentence for taking $XX million in bribes.
No mention of the U.S. in China’s press releases, but yeah... we know why this is happening.
