How China is Weaponizing Drugs to Kill Americans

China is Weaponizing Drugs like Fentanyl Against the US Populace

It is a disturbing and little-known fact that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is actively waging a chemical war against the United States. Using synthetic drugs like fentanyl, the CCP is killing Americans and fueling our nation’s huge overdose problem.

This is part of a larger gray war that the CCP is waging against the United States, one that is not overt but is no less dangerous for it. The use of synthetic drugs as a weapon is a particularly insidious aspect of this war, as it allows the CCP to attack us without leaving any overt fingerprints.

The situation is eerily reminiscent of the opium wars of the 1800s, when the British Empire used opium as a weapon to subdue and exploit China. Now, the tables have turned, and the CCP is using fentanyl and other synthetic drugs to do the same to the United States.

It is imperative that the United States take action to combat this chemical war. We must hold the CCP accountable for its actions and work to disrupt the flow of synthetic drugs into our country. Only by standing up to this aggression can we hope to safeguard the lives and well-being of our citizens.

The scale of the problem

The use of synthetic drugs like fentanyl has contributed significantly to the overdose crisis in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids (including fentanyl) more than tripled between 2013 and 2018. For 2022, we are projected to hit well north of 100,000 overdose deaths in the United States.

The impact of these drugs has been particularly devastating in certain regions of the country. In the Northeast and Midwest, for example, the rate of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids has been significantly higher than the national average. The crisis has also disproportionately affected certain demographics, with men, non-Hispanic whites, and individuals between the ages of 25 and 44 being at the highest risk for overdose death involving synthetic opioids.

The Link to China

There is strong evidence linking the production and distribution of synthetic drugs like fentanyl to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to a report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, the CCP has actively promoted the production and export of synthetic drugs as part of its larger strategy to undermine the United States.


The CCP has taken a number of steps to conceal its involvement in the production and distribution of these drugs. For example, it has used front companies and intermediaries to hide its involvement and has taken steps to evade detection by international authorities. However, despite these efforts, U.S. law enforcement agencies have been able to track the flow of synthetic drugs back to the CCP, providing clear evidence of its involvement in this chemical war.

The impact of This Chemical War on the US

The chemical war being waged by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) through the use of synthetic drugs like fentanyl is contributing significantly to the overdose crisis in the United States. The production and distribution of these drugs by the CCP has led to a significant increase in the availability of synthetic opioids, particularly in certain regions of the country.

One tactic that the CCP has used to promote the production and export of these drugs is by offering tax incentives to Chinese chemical manufacturers. According to a report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, the CCP has provided tax breaks and other financial incentives to encourage the production and export of synthetic drugs. This has created a powerful financial incentive for Chinese chemical manufacturers to produce and sell fentanyl and other synthetic drugs to the United States and other countries.

The use of tax incentives to promote the production and export of synthetic drugs is a particularly insidious aspect of the CCP’s chemical war against the United States. By using financial incentives to encourage the production of these deadly drugs, the CCP is directly contributing to the overdose crisis in the U.S. and other countries. It is important that the international community hold the CCP accountable for its role in this crisis and work to disrupt the flow of synthetic drugs into the U.S. and other countries.

 

Opium Wars 2.0

The opium wars of the 1800s and the chemical war being waged by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against the United States today have some significant similarities. In both cases, a powerful country (Great Britain in the 1800s, China today) has used drugs as a weapon to exploit and manipulate another country (China in the 1800s, the United States today).

During the opium wars of the 1800s, Great Britain used opium as a weapon to subdue and exploit China. The British Empire used its economic and military power to force China to allow the importation of opium, even though it was illegal in China and had devastating consequences for the Chinese people. The opium wars ultimately resulted in the forced opening of China to foreign trade and the loss of Chinese territory to foreign powers.

Today, the CCP is using synthetic drugs like fentanyl to wage a chemical war against the United States. The CCP has actively promoted the production and export of these drugs as part of its larger strategy to undermine the U.S. The influx of synthetic drugs into the U.S. has contributed significantly to the overdose crisis in the country, with the number of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids more than tripling between 2013 and 2018.

While there are certainly significant differences between the opium wars of the 1800s and the chemical war being waged by the CCP today, the use of drugs as a weapon to exploit and manipulate other countries is a disturbing and common thread. 

The Need for Action

The importance of holding the CCP accountable for its actions in the gray war and chemical war against the United States lies in the need to maintain international accountability and the rule of law. The gray war refers to a type of covert or unconventional warfare that is characterized by the use of covert or deniable actions, such as propaganda, cyberattacks, and covert operations, rather than open military conflict. In this case, flooding our streets with synthetic drugs that are killing our citizens in the hundreds of thousands while tying up our police forces and government.

Since the CCP is flooding the streets of the United States with fentanyl and other deadly synthetic drugs, it is important to hold the CCP accountable for this behavior in order to address the harm that these drugs are causing to individuals and communities in the United States. The illegal drug trade can have serious consequences, including addiction, overdose deaths, and the destruction of communities. By holding the CCP accountable for its actions in this regard, it is possible to disrupt the illegal drug trade and reduce the harm caused by these drugs.

In addition to addressing the harm caused by the illegal drug trade, holding the CCP accountable for its actions in the gray war and chemical war against the United States is also important for maintaining international accountability and the rule of law. The CCP’s actions in this regard may be in violation of international law, and holding the CCP accountable for these actions is necessary in order to uphold the rule of law and maintain international stability.

Steps That We Can Take Against China

There are several steps and measures that can be taken to stop the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from flooding the United States with fentanyl and other synthetic drugs:

Law enforcement efforts: One of the primary ways to combat the illegal drug trade is through law enforcement efforts. This may involve targeting drug trafficking organizations, intercepting shipments of illegal drugs, and prosecuting individuals involved in the illegal drug trade.

Interdiction: Another important measure to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the United States is through interdiction efforts. This may involve working with international partners to intercept shipments of illegal drugs before they reach the United States, or using naval patrols and other measures to disrupt the flow of illegal drugs into the country.

Diplomatic pressure: Governments and international organizations can use diplomatic channels to express their concerns and demand accountability from the CCP in relation to its role in the illegal drug trade.

Sanctions: Governments and international organizations can impose economic sanctions on the CCP in order to pressure it to change its behavior and stop the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

Legal action: Governments and individuals can bring legal action against the CCP in international courts or other legal forums to hold it accountable for its actions in relation to the illegal drug trade.

Public shaming: Governments and international organizations can publicly criticize the CCP and highlight its wrongdoing in order to increase pressure on the CCP to change its behavior and stop the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

Overall, a combination of law enforcement efforts, interdiction, diplomatic pressure, sanctions, legal action, and public shaming may be necessary to effectively stop the CCP from flooding the United States with fentanyl and other synthetic drugs.

Conclusion

If China detonated a nuclear weapon in the United States each year and killed 100,000 of our citizens, we would be at war right now. Instead of launching a nuke, China is using fentanyl as the nuclear device. We are going to end up like 1800’s China if we do not address the fentanyl crisis head on. While we waste our time with feel good measures in our communities, we have yet to address the real problem. That problem is China and it is only getting worse.
