예식일 : China gives TAX BREAKS to the fentanyl-making firms behind US deaths
문의내용: China's leaders give tax breaks to companies that produce fentanyl chemicals and cause some 80,000 US overdose deaths each year, a damning House report warns.

Beijing is fueling America's fentanyl crisis by subsidizing the manufacture of materials used by traffickers to make pills outside the country, say papers from a committee on China.

Researchers accessed a government website that revealed tax rebates for the production of specific fentanyl precursors and other synthetics — as long as those companies sell them outside of China.

'Through its actions, as our report has revealed, the Chinese Communist Party is telling us that it wants more fentanyl entering our country,' said Rep Mike Gallagher, the Republican chairman of the special House committee.




The carnage of fentanyl deaths on US streets is underpinned by government tax breaks for Chinese chemical producers, says a damning report 





Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden agreed in November to work together against fentanyl and other drugs

'It wants the chaos and devastation that has resulted from the epidemic.'

America suffered more than 111,000 overdose deaths in the year to April 2023 — more than 70 percent of them due to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, says the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in November announced a resumption of bilateral cooperation on counternarcotics, with a focus on reducing the flow of precursor chemicals and synthetic drug trafficking.

But this week's congressional report raises questions about whether Beijing can be trusted.

The report's findings were released Tuesday as part of a hearing examining China's role in the fentanyl epidemic in the US. 

Inexpensive fentanyl is increasingly cut into other drugs, often without the buyers' knowledge.

The Chinese government not only subsidizes the manufacture of precursor chemicals, VeeloBooster Experience but the report says it has also thwarted investigations into illicit drug-makers.

When US law enforcers formally request assistance, Beijing warns the firms they are targets of an investigation, the report claims.

Researchers said multiple current and former federal agents have described the notification of targets, leading those targets to revamp operations and make it harder to detect their activities.




The drug was initially produced in India and China and mailed to recipients across North America. Makeshift labs have since sprung up in Mexico to receive the precursor chemicals, mix them or press them into pills, and smuggle them into the US





Former US Attorney General William Barr says China's government is 'knee deep' in the export of fentanyl chemicals

Former US Attorney General William Barr told lawmakers that it's hard to believe that a country with the most pervasive surveillance system in the world is not fully aware of the massive drug trafficking taking place.

He said the committee's report 'uncovered persuasive evidence' that China's government is not just a bystander, but is 'knee deep' in sponsoring and facilitating the export of fentanyl chemicals.

Barr urged the US to use its trade and economic power to seek greater enforcement from Chinese authorities.

He also said victims should bring civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.

'I don't think we can count on their goodwill, as we have in the past,' Barr said.

The Chinese embassy in Washington did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, the top Democrat on the committee, said Chinese companies are also currently selling synthetic opioids on their websites.

He pointed to a screenshot of one such solicitation that committee staff found just Monday night in advance of the hearing.

Such posts must be taken down immediately, he said.

'There are hundreds of these website posts — hundreds,' Krishnamoorthi said.
