The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

uscc.gov - Illicit Fentanyl from China An Evolving Global Operation

China remains the primary country of origin for illicit fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances
trafficked into the United States: In 2019, China fulfilled a pledge to the United States and placed all
forms of fentanyl and its analogues on a regulatory schedule. Nevertheless, illicit fentanyl from China
remains widely available in the United States. Chinese traffickers are using various strategies to circumvent
new regulations, including focusing on chemical precursors, relocating some manufacturing to India,
rerouting precursor shipments through third countries, and leveraging marketing schemes to avoid
detection. China's weak supervision and regulation of its chemical and pharmaceutical industry also enable
evasion and circumvention.
' Since China's government scheduled fentanyl, the amount of finished fentanyl shipped directly from
China to the United States has declined, while the amount shipped from Mexico has increased: The
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) assesses Chinese traffickers have shifted from primarily
manufacturing finished fentanyl to primarily exporting precursors to Mexican cartels, who manufacture
illicit fentanyl and deliver the final product. U.S. law enforcement has seen a growing trend of Chinese
nationals, in both Mexico and the United States, working with Mexican cartels. As Chinese suppliers
coordinate more with international partners, the DEA is concerned that fentanyl production is becoming
increasingly global and more difficult to track and control.
' Chinese brokers are laundering Mexican drug money through China's financial system: Chinese
money launderers are using financial technology, mobile banking apps, and social media to evade
authorities.
