 Quoting further:

A joint DEA-State Department investigation between 2017 and 2020 found that over a thousand Chinese Communist students here on visas alone deposited well over a billion drug dollars in America's largest banks, mainly in cash to pay for real estate. The role of the Chinese Communist Party in coordinating this "reverse opium war" was apparent to those of us who led the investigation. 
 It's from zerohedge, so sources are likely shit. Also, they're equating/conflating trafficking and manufacturing. No mention of how the CCP changed laws to help the DEA.  
 Laws being changed is a charade if the shit is still making its way across the Pacific, and it apparently is. Fentanyl and it's train of bodies will continue to be a problem in the US for a decade to come. Hell, it's even becoming a problem in Europe. 
 Laws may be a charade but they create and maintain numerous jobs. Fent is not a problem. Just needs to be measured carefully.
