In which world is the Chinese market not capitalist? Chinese drug exports are absolutely for-profit. They don't export out of philanthropy. It's probably even worse than elsewhere!

Every other type of market system ensures there simply is no access.

China drugs hardly go thru any tests to ensure they are safe. Simply release them to market and check for negative side effects after.

This is the same drug being sourced from a different supplier. What the fuck are you talking about?

Fentanyl is manufactured for medical use in the massive and extremely lucrative US market. The fact that American drug cartels import it for sale on the black market is an unfortunate side-effect.

The solution to the opioid epidemic is stupidly simple: enable safe supply so that addicts don't have to destroy their lives in pursuit of their addiction. That, by the way, is an addiction created by US pharmaceutical companies forcing doctors to overprescribe opioids despite knowing how addicting they are.

China doesn't have to wage shadow warfare when the US is happy to do so to itself.
