"House Panel Exposes China's Role in Fueling the Fentanyl Crisis in the US"

A special House committee report reveals that China is subsidizing the production of fentanyl precursors and synthetic drugs for export, fueling the fentanyl crisis in the U.S. The report also highlights China's obstruction of investigations into illicit manufacturers and recommends using trade and economic power to seek greater enforcement from Chinese authorities. The committee calls for financial sanctions on violators, forming a task force to combat drug trafficking, and clarifying the president's power to sanction those involved in drug trafficking.
