For decades, the US has been grappling with a devastating opioid crisis, with nearly a million drug overdose deaths since 1999. Opioid addiction was initially fuelled by pharmaceutical companies aggressively promoting prescription painkillers. But the arrival of fentanyl on the black market exacerbated the problem, with a potency 100 times stronger than morphine. China, with its massive chemical industry, has long played a significant role in the illicit fentanyl trade. But efforts to curb its production and export have led to a shift in operations to countries like India.

Blame overseas when the problem is self control and national regulation on medical practices, medical fee, and drug prices in the US
Well said.
*and Biden doesn't care.*
The problem is why people want to use fentanyl in the first place...
💯
Close your mouth it is all because of china
By USA's logic, drug addictions in societies in China should be the worse than USA. Why? Because they should have the cheapest and easiest access to their own citizens. Don't blame others for your own irresponsibility and your inability to control your population.
💯 said all, even a child can understand it but not the NED sponsored South China Morning Post.
Don't little pinks in China claim all those photos of Uyghurs in camps are actually drug addicts? 😅 So which is it?
@@centerrightpunk是你爹
@@centerrightpunkthe only one in uyghur camp is your dad
I came to say the exact same thing, US is always quick to blame others for their own problem
Blaming steel producers for gun killings..,
It's not illegal steel coming into Mexico or the US to make guns, little pink
@@centerrightpunkThat's like reasoning that the toolshop is responsible for all the injury and deaths caused by the gun that was made using their screws.
@@centerrightpunk its not illegal using drugs in U$ public areas, red neck
@@therminust4the drugs like fentanyl are absolutely illegal when not for medical use. Drugs like Marijuana are a completely different class of drugs and not nearly as dangerous so they have fewer restrictions.
US is blaming China AGAIN for its own downfall. So childish 😢😢😢
Because Chinese companies are selling up criminal organizations. Did you see the part in the video where the agent pretended to be a drug trafficker and the Chinese lab still did business with him?
@IndiansRapeBengalLizardsYes I know, I saw the video.
@IndiansRapeBengalLizards you’re desperate aren’t you?
@PajeetStreetShittersbut where did I cover it up? 🤷♂️
@PajeetStreetShittersThat’s not covering it up. This video talks about China and India. Talking about China doesn’t mean you are covering up India 😂. Logic fail.
Why only US and Canada has fentanyl issue ?
Because it is made in usa and canada
@@matkilau1320no no!! LIES IT IS MADE IN CHINA and they do not have any drug probalems we see in west because they hide them! I better they are the number 1 drug users even more than Mexico!
Cause China ships the precursor ingredients into Mexico so it can be specifically sold in the USA and Canada 🍁
cause china sends ingredients to cause the mayham they probably got a slight issue too but they got strict frowned apon look on drugs + theyd have it all not public information
@@PM2024-why does the usa ship lead and brass overseas allowing terrorists to create bullets and casings? Is usa funding terrorism?(they are of course but not for this reason)

TOP 10 USA pharmaceutical companies that are making fentanyl.
as this video says, China DOES NOT make fentanyl.
Only precursor or intermediate chemicals. Guess WHO also make these intermediate chemicals.???
Again do a search and find out.
Fentnyl is an extremely important medicine for hospitals and ambulances. Also for cancer patients. People need to learn this drug has many benefits and the problems are from the street drugs being tainted with xylazine and nitazenes
US companies make fentanyl for medical uses. Cartels import precursors from China and make it in mexico at a much larger scale to export to the US
@@creature2479 WRONG. it was PROVEN IN COURT, US company was doing it for massive profit.
@@creature2479precursors of which are legal
US is a joke at this point. Back then I say them as Mighty Eagle, now as Invasive Pigeon
Covid-19: China lied, millions died
a fat and drug addicted pigeon, fed with cheap labor products from China
Weak governance is the root cause of it
Fentanyl is not more addictive than any other drugs. Addiction is relative. It's just cheaper to produce.
What SCMP IS not saying is those precursor substances are also for making other prescriptions including vitamins. So, China didn’t make fentanyl. If you sell those precursor chemical individually, they are not illegal. U.S. citizens must blame the pharma for allowing this to happen. Plus, educate the US citizens. Stop blaming everything on China.
It's happening because usa doesn't allow any opiates to be sold over the counter. Do only thing available on streets is the most potent research chemicals because it's easiest to make and smuggle.
Usa needs to legalize poppy growing and allow adults to purchase codiene and morphine extract from said poppies. As narcan can work on both codiene and morphine no problem..overdose deaths would plummet to the lowest level in decades if that happened.
average US response to their own problems: blame someone else
Just say no to drugs
Reminded me of the tainted cough Syrup from india that kills babies in Indonesia
America, once untouchable, is now crumbling, and I sense the writing is on the wall when he fails to recognize his own problems and blames them on others.
Yes you are right... But dont think china is better... Honestly the World needs to have better countries at the top. Not silly china Nor USA
They wouldn't be selling it if there weren't people buying it
Americans love shifting blame
That's how supply and demand work
The U$A population only accounts for 5% of the global population, but consumes 80% of the world's opioids, and so far the U$ has no permanent control of fentanyl-like substances.
That's a totally false statistic. Lies like that you just put out kills people
It has a foothold in the UK, but nowhere near as bad as the USA. Oxy is available in the UK under prescription and mainly used for end of life situations. Probably not such a problem because Pharma in the UK don't make this dreadful stuff. If someone can prove me wrong, I would like to hear about it.
Yet US spends hundreds of billions in defence🤷🏻
Hollywood Movie 'Contagion 2011' has prophesized the exact scenario of Coronavirus in 2020 - can we get the Director to explain !!!
How do you prevent the sales of those precursors, while it is also being used to produce agrochemical product (such crop fertilizer), dye for textiles, epileptic drugs and many others?
Even cough syrup's precursors can be used to make the deadly methamphetamine.
its like blaming cigarrete shop/company, but ur as parents let ur kids smoking everyday 🤡
look at others countries they very stricted to ppls using drugs, so no issue,
unlike U$ freedom gov & polices lets ppls using it in public areas 🤡
In the realm of gun control within the United States, the prevailing sentiment asserts that it is the individuals wielding the firearms rather than the guns themselves that pose the threat. This analogy extends to the realm of drugs, where the blame for fatalities is placed on the users rather than the substances. The principle that where there is a demand, a corresponding supply emerges holds true in this context. Within the American landscape, the cessation of one drug merely propels individuals to seek out alternative substances in pursuit of heightened experiences, perpetuating an unending cycle. The prevalence of substance use among Americans commences at a tender age, with illicit drug distribution being alarmingly rampant within educational institutions overseen by different factions. This firsthand insight is derived from personal experiences growing up in the United States. Regrettably, the nation stands as the largest global consumer of illegal narcotics, a predicament seemingly without a foreseeable resolution.
The state of the U.S is very sick and only getting worse. There is no cure.
So, the answer is "no".
The memont they mention China, my immediate mind start to think of wuhan. And there the man mentioned visiting wuhan lab. There that goes...... No matter what they're gonna blame the problem on China again.
A so-called laboratory or even a vegetable market
From who's perspective? I'm trying to remember whether it was Mexico foreign minister or trade minister who put it best. "We are so unfortunate. We are right in the middle of BY FAR the largest market for illicit drugs and one of the largest region for the production of said drugs. We suffer crime and smuggling as the result." The same thing can be said about China. It borders one the world's largest regions for drug production and human trafficking and the US is one of its biggest markets.
The poignant point is this, the US, Canada and Europe has never taken responsibility for their own actions. Their decriminalization of various formerly illegal activities, defunding of policing, breakdown of social order and, speaking as one with a groundview in New York, bail "reform," led to these problems. They are problems that arose as of the US' own choice.
Why do people die from drug addiction? Because they are addicts. No addiction, no deaths and no trade. Think.
Wouldn’t be surprising after the COVID-19 outbreak I’m not sure what to think anymore
Constipation is CCP's fault too isn't it

Ok US, have fun not having any fentanyl for your hospitals ;)
I think it would be great to be able to help out The Philippines or Taiwan. But the U.S should focus on the more severe problems at home happening to their citizens first such as; mental heath, homelessness, gun violence, mass butchering elementary schools, starvation, no healthcare, racism, hatred, fentanyl overdose, gang violence, police brutality, human rights violation, mass illegal immigration, collapsed financial system, extreme economic downturn, record high inflation and great depression

Nobody is forcing anyone to take fentanyl.
Except when the corrupt US healthcare system pushes opioid painkillers onto the general public for years getting them hooked onto the drugs they peddle like a government approved drug dealer.
Americans then can't afford their healthcare and get cut off from said opioids then they look to the cornerstore drug dealer for cheap alternatives like Fentanyl which is originally an animal tranquilizer.
These addicts have no choice. They have a disease brought upon them by the healthcare system they trusted in. This is what happens when you privatise healthcare and put profits before the health of people.
Anyone saw everlastchang?
Yes, he was with your mom last night
the problem are the drug users ,no drug users no more drugs
It has nothing to do with the item, it's the individual who shoves it in their body that are the problem, fix your nation and you will fix your problem quit blaming the guy across the street
for making you into a monster it won't help them one bit..
If healthcare was actually free or at the very least affordable. They wouldn't have to resort to fentanyl to deal with the pain from injuries/illnesses.
Capitalism creates the need for people to turn to drugs.
How come we don't have free healthcare in India?
They’re addicts. They would have chased the high anyway.
@@misterbig9025 Someone told me you do
As a U.S citizen. Before we help the Philippines or Taiwan. I want our government to focus on the Chinese partnership with the cartels such as *CJNG* (Jalisco New Generation) *CDS* (Sinoloa Federation) *LFM* (La Familia Michoacana) *CDG* (Cartel Del Golfo) *CDJ* (Cartel De Juarez) and *CDN* (Cartel Del Noreste) into bringing in fentanyl to the U.S that is responsible for 100,000 + fatalities/deaths in America on a yearly basis.
*May 11 - US plead China to do more to stop rising drug deaths from fentanyl. The plea comes as US deaths from drug overdoses exceeded 100,000*

The problem with drugs is that there will always be a market for them. This has been true through history.
Making them illegal does very little to affect the market demand and instead just makes the market more lucrative and profitable.
It is due to legislators around the world not willing to recognize this that much of the other crime continues to gets its cashflow.
Meanwhile legalization can transfer away trillions of dollars from cartels each year and all that money can be spend on improving medial care, addiction treatment and educating people on the dangers of drugs.
Lots of bot account in here....

Never take Drugs!
Yes, prevention beats a cure
But my friends do
What is it about American society that would result in so many of its people to become addicted to illegal drugs and to continue using them when the result is often fatal? Are the obstacles to solving the illegal drug problem real or are the obstacles just an excuse for not having solved the problem?
Did you watch the video? They were prescribed these for pain management by their doctors. Those companies lied and said they were not addictive. Watch the video next time.
@@mudshovel289 How long ago was that? Americans know that fentanyl is easy to overdose on, so why would they keep taking that chance? Surely not everyone who takes fentanyl does it because of a doctor's prescription. Don't literally believe everything you hear or see!
@IndiansRapeBengalLizardsNope. Don’t have Indian citizenship. Can’t vote in their elections or stay there for long without a visa. I can do both of those in the U.S. though. Stay jealous 😏

The same applies for guns and bullets
Taking fentanyl and other schedule 1 drugs is a personal choice. Don't blame China if people have no self control.
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid drug *approved by the Food and Drug Administration* for use as an analgesic (pain relief) and anesthetic.
More like a problem caused by Western Capitalism.
Just like Americans buying guns and bullets.

Fentanyl is used as a medicine in more than 100 countries around the world (including China), but it is abused only in the United States. So whose problem is it?
@@jogana6909Actually it’s also abused in the U.K. and Western Europe.
Reason why fentanyl is starting to become so rampantly abused is because it’s cheaper to produce and has stronger effects than other drugs.
