Smuggling of fentanyl from China to the United States has significantly contributed to the opioid epidemic in the United States, an issue that has persisted since the 1990s. Despite stringent domestic drug laws resulting in relatively low levels of drug use within China itself, the country's regulations on the production and export of drug precursors, including fentanyl, remain relatively relaxed. The Chinese government has long denied China is the main source of fentanyl to the United States, blaming the U.S. market's role in driving opioid demand, and rebuffing US's attempts for it to enforce regulations, saying it is a US domestic issue.[1] The issue has put a major strain in China–United States relations.[2][3][4]
