 Really?

Submitted by David Asher, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute and former senior advisor to the State Department on China,

At 0800 ET, the China Subcommittee in the House of Representatives will convene a critically important hearing on the Chinese government's involvement in fentanyl trafficking.

Congressman Mike Gallagher will make his final appearance as Chair of the Committee. Expect some mind-altering news as the results of a year-long special investigation are unveiled. 

The US faces a drug death catastrophe where we incur fatalities approaching those during the entire Vietnam War every six months. The vast majority of deaths are derived from fentanyl-laced narcotics, many of which are marketed as "ordinary" painkillers and anti-depressants by Mexican cartels. China knowingly supplies the ingredients to Mexican cartels manufacturing illicit fentanyl drugs, and Chinese organized criminals in the US handle the laundering of proceeds. It's an end-to-end Chinese Communist conspiracy. 

Nationwide drug overdose deaths have topped 100,000 in the last few years.
