Today's news has Pres. Trump accusing the Chinese of continuing to sell fentanyl to the United States -- "and many Americans continue to die!" But my research shows that fentanyl is a medical drug for the alleviation of severe pain and as such I would assume to be a controlled substance. How than, "many Americans continue to die!" ? See https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/01/w...nyl-trump.html Fentanyl and all its variants are now controlled substances in China which, of course, does not stop illegal trade. -- Jay Beattie. Oh, is that like China's compliance with pollution treaties? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/02/w...ghting-it.html China will always talk a great game and sign anything, then ignore any inconvenient agreements. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-against-china China theorists posit that Hitler annexed Poland and nobody gave a damn. Italy slashed and burned through Ethiopia and the League of Nations wrote resolutions, but zip for action. Therefore... and here we are. Did you notice that after huge Chinese payments to Turkey, Pakistan, the Saudi family and other moslem states, that only the US of A has said _anything_ about 1,000,000+ moslem Uighers in concentration camps in East Turkistan (Western China)? They are not stupid. They know that they can generally get away with anything, but 'generally' being not always. Which is why the huge Chinese anti-Trump media push leading up to 2020. Criminals operating in other nations will satisfy demand in the US. Maybe we should punish China for its lax oversight by inundating them with opium. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars -- Jay Beattie Agreed. The Chinese are not stupid. They know that, and seem to be emulating a very successful policy to weaken targeted adversaries. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
