For more than a decade, the United States has faced a relentless and heartbreaking increase in fatal drug overdoses driven by synthetic opioids. A new analysis suggests this trend has suddenly reversed due to a major disruption in the global supply chain of illicit fentanyl. Published in Science, the study indicates that regulatory actions taken by the Chinese government, following high-level diplomatic engagement with the Biden administration, may be the primary driver behind this unexpected decline in mortality.
It’s wild because in China they would have done exactly that. Well, they tend to be more efficient with corporate criminals than charter a whole damn boat. A brick wall and a revolver is the normal way enemies of the people meet their end. (When they haven’t cut the leadership in enough at least in some cases.)
