U.S.-China talks on the fentanyl issue have stalled

Insiders: U.S.-China talks on fentanyl issue陷入stalemate, US says China's proposal falls short of expectations

Reuters reported on the 23rd, citing insiders, that despite the tense trade relations between the United States and China, both sides are still negotiating on the fentanyl issue, exchanging intelligence on traffickers and maintaining close communication. However, insiders pointed out that the negotiations have approached a deadlock.

The insiders said that the US side hopes that China will prosecute and convict personnel involved in the production and sales of fentanyl precursors; China proposed to regulate not only the fentanyl precursor chemicals already under control but also other types of fentanyl precursor chemicals. However, the US side believes that this proposal falls far short of its expectations.

Previously, China stated that the root cause of the fentanyl problem in the United States lies in its own regulatory loopholes and drug abuse. The US ignores China's great contributions in controlling fentanyl substances and combating illegal crimes related to fentanyl substances, politicizes the fentanyl issue, and adopts extreme measures such as imposing additional tariffs, which is unhelpful in solving its own "fentanyl pain".
