Ambassador of the United States Embassy in China Weibo:
The US Customs and Border Protection arrested a Chinese national suspected of trafficking chemicals used to manufacture fentanyl. The case originated from law enforcement officers discovering powdered precursor chemicals during a security inspection operation at John F. Kennedy International Airport, which led to an in-depth investigation.
China still retains the death penalty for drug-related crimes, and such individuals are considered major criminals in China. Do not maliciously hype that he is Chinese; more accurately, such individuals are traitors to China. If caught in China, the punishment would be harsher than in the United States.
