CCP’s Ties to Cartel Drug Trade Exposed

welcome to Crossroads the Chinese Communist party has folded on its fenal production now look the CCP has now agreed to at least to an extent control and restrict the production of key ingredients used to manufacture the deadly drug fenal now this could cut the supply of the drug heading to the United States but look for the CCP this move is just the very tip of the iceberg the regime controls not just the market of you know key ingredients for elicit drugs throughout Latin America and the United States but also criminal organizations who ties to the CCP they handle the money laundering for the drug cartels and notably the overall drug war is rooted in a ma era program of the Chinese Communist party to wage war against the United States through other means this move by the CCP the recent ones this aims to restrict the precursor chemicals and it was actually announced by an NC spokesperson statement from the White House here's what they had to say they said the People's Republic of China PRC announced that they will begin scheduling three essential precursor chemicals used to manufacture elicit fenel thereby subjecting these chemicals to additional regulation and control a valuable step forward they State this marks the third significant scheduling action by the PRC since President Biden met with President XI and resumed bilateral counternarcotics cooperation with the PRC in November M of 2023 now look of course this is a good thing at least you know this part of it according to provisional data from the cdc's national Center for Health statistics there were an estimated 74 700,000 deaths from synthetic opioids which includes fenal by the way in the United States just in 2023 and let that sink in more Americans are being killed by these Chinese you know heavily Chinese drugs every year then have died in some of the major Wars this is killing Young Americans and young people in this country faster than a war would and if you understand this as a type of warfare this is more effective than waging direct War now look if there starting to restrict the precursor chemicals to fenel and you know by that you know restricting the flow of fenel by extension that's great but fenel is not the only drug that comes out from China as they note when they include you know the more than 70 4,000 deaths every year of Americans dying from these drugs fentanyl is one of them it's not all of them precursor chemicals from many other drugs well they come from China also fentol also isn't the only synthetic drug with of its kind the problem with drugs like this with fenol and other things is that you can change one small part in the chemical makeup and you have a new drug you have a new drug that's not only in existence sometimes even stronger or worse but it's also unregulated because they regulate it based on the chemical composition now on the other side of this the fact that they're going after the ingredients and not just the surface drug that could be a way to help stem the flow of this but the problem you have with a lot of these ingredients is some of them are kind of like dual use they go into other things so you can't fully restrict them in many cases now this is also a global issue and this is also where gets important because the CCP running a lot of these drug operations again the precursors the synthetic drugs the money laundering and even some of the international Ties That facilitate this whole thing they can just manufacture them somewhere else and the Machine behind this keeps running the Chinese Communist Party notably they are deeply intertwined with the market for drugs of all types Epic Times noted this they said Italian authorities have seized more than 6 tons of raw chemical materials shipped from China which police believe could have been used to manufacture enough elicit narcotics to flood the European market and so Chinese companies sending these chemicals not to America sending them to Europe in Italy in this case used to manufacture enough drugs potentially for all of Europe now the not Italian authorities announced in July 1st the seizure of 6.9 tons of chemicals from from China Alle allegedly intended for the production of MDMA a synthetic substance commonly known as ecstasy or Molly with an estimated value of more than 630 million e or about $678 million then if the seizure could have produced more than 63 million ecstasy pills and they say that quote that's a quantity capable of flooding the European synthetic drug Market according to Italy's Guardia d uh d fanza a law enforcement agency that reports that finance ministry in a statement right now on this as well there's more to this the discussions on counter narcotic operations are also opening up the CCP you know to kind of being the middle ban in terms of trying to manage this crisis and so you're going to the mafia in other words and you're saying hey hey Don you know how how can we fix this whole drug crisis and he says well let me handle it but I need something in return he's the one running the operation he's The Mastermind behind it but he's also the one doing the you know the surface operations at least pretending like they're trying to stop it you're going to the criminal to stop the crime the reality is that the drug trade has a long history in China this goes back to maong he he modeled this is a new way to undermine the United States modeled notably after the British Opium War that helped destroy the last Dynasty of China now this goes back of course to the early days of the Chinese Communist party they needed money they needed to tear down the United States drugs gave them both drugs created a massive Market understand that when it comes to a lot of these regimes communist regimes especially they don't just try to control legitimate markets they try to control illegitimate markets as well you control the surface world right the normal businesses that a lot of you and I know but they also try to control the criminal world the world of extortion the world of smuggling the world of drugs prostitution slavery organ trade everything the entire criminal world is a multi-billion dollar massive well more than that massive Market with businesses as large as the surface world economies and you have entire countries that work in illicit markets North Korea for examp example the Chinese Communist Party playing both sides of it now in terms of making money this is beneficial to them on a few different levels not only does the Chinese Communist Party make a ridiculous amount of money by helping facilitate the drug trade you know just one example of this type of crime but it also allows them to gain influence over criminal networks who can be used as kind of a fifth column within other countries who establish notably smuggling channels that can be used for other purposes in the the event of a war and also give them access to networks connected to them the criminal underbelly of every country that can be used for assassination extortion anything they want kidnappings you name it and so for the Chinese Communist party this is strategic on a few different levels now when maidong started these operations he mainly focused on opium they called it people's opium mostly for of course black tar heroin and things like that and what they did was they went to Cuba and they used Cuba as the go-between to establish drug trade operations throughout all of Latin America targeted at the United States later on that turned mainly into cocaine especially the 1970s and so on now look the Chinese Communist party they also don't just control fenol Chinese businesses they Supply other chemicals and Other Drugs you know Chinese organized crime they do the money laundering as well for the cartel a lot of that goes through casinos and a lot of that goes notably through Canada the Chinese Communist part's also historically worked with governments in countries throughout Latin America Cuba being one of the main ones but also others you know Venezuela they have huge ties Colombia huge ties Mexico a lot of ties mainly with cartels and they use these ties to help facilitate the drug trade as a profitable weapon against the United States it kills more American every year than a major war would now the US government is also now going after the Chinese individuals who notably do the money laundering operations for the Mexican cartels those of you watch Crossroads for a while know that we've talked about this quite a bit the US government is actually going after it now the US Treasury Department said this they said today the US Department of treasury's office of foreign assets control sanctioned a mexico-based money launderer and china-based member of a money laundering organization with criminal links to the caloa cartel as part of ongoing efforts to disrupt the flow of elicit narcotics into the United States they say this action is the result of the US government's ongoing efforts in cooperation with the Mexican Government to disrupt the trafficking of fenal and save lives a priority under the president's Unity agenda they say that today's action furthers efforts by the treasury's counter fenal Strike Force which leverages treasury's unique EXP exper and capabilities to disrupt the illicit Financial networks relied upon by the cartels now here's what gets interesting this report not only lays out the operation going against the Mexican cartels tied in with Chinese criminal organizations doing the money laundering but they actually have more details on the moneya laundering organizations run out of the CCP they call these Chinese money laundering organizations cm's and they say quote as described in treasury's 2024 National moneya laundering risk assessment CMOS are now one of the key actors laundering money professionally in the United States and worldwide and are rapidly becoming one of the most prominent money laundering threat actors facing the US Financial system drug trafficking organizations such as the caloa cartel in Mexico have increasingly partnered with CML to launder funds again Chinese money launderers and they not that individuals working for these Chinese money launderers pick up bulk cash generated from the sale of illicit drugs in the United States then work to move a corresponding amount of funds abroad often to Mexico they do it in Canada as well they know this provides US dollars to PRC Nationals Chinese Nationals of course seeking to overcome currency controls because it's tied in with the CCP and they they note in addition to violating federal law in the United States and Mexico CMOS also violate currency controls imposed by the PRC they technically violate Chinese law even though the CCP uses them and works with them and many of them are also tied in with the ccp's networks you know look one thing I have personally uncovered in my own investigations over the years looking into these types of operations is the overlap of the Chinese Communist party's spy operations and oper ations of organized criminal groups I'll be

drug fenol now this could cut the supply of the drug to the United States but for the Chinese Communist party this move is just the very tip of a very very large Iceberg the regime controls not just the market of key ingredients for elicit drugs throughout Latin America and into the United States criminal organizations with ties to the CCP they also do the money laundering for the drug cartels now one thing that I have personally found investigating the ccp's networks of spies and front organizations and otherwise is that there is a very large overlap of CCP spy operations and the operations of organized criminal groups now this also came to the Forefront recently with the prosecution of way chingal a public figure in Chinese organized crime who was just recently purged The Washington Post notes this they say for the Sion of a crime family linked to human trafficking and enslavement moneya laundering and Global cyber scams Wade sing ta was brazenly public they note that on Tik Tok you know the Chinese version of it di Yin he was having this kind of you know extravagant lifestyle showing off his wealth and he wasn't trying to be private about it but they note that in November this all changed his social media presence went away and then he appeared notably reading a scripted confession while in Chinese custody and way said this the money we made from cyber scams comes from the pensions of everyday Chinese people he said this time the Chinese government has made up its mind we must not cling to any Illusions it notes that within weeks his uncle was in cuffs and on a plane to China flinked by dozens of police officers they note the detention of way and at least 15 other alleged alleged senior crime family members and their Associates notably a Chinese mafia they call them Triads was lavishly covered by Chinese media designed to Showcase beijing's reach right they say this is proof according to Chinese officials of their determination to crush transnational criminals victimizing their citizens no matter where they are based now they say this that workers mostly Chinese Nationals or ethnic Chinese were bought sold and traded and then beaten tortured or killed when they didn't reach Financial targets or tried to escape now they note that of course this has come out in some of these Financial records and criminal criminal records this group was involved in illegal gambling human trafficking narcotics but they also R ran legitimate operations again the legitimate economies and the illegitimate economies but most interesting this criminal organization also worked directly with the Chinese Communist party now they note that cang fam Ames again this particular Chinese organized crime group ran both legitimate and illicit businesses often from the same property and notes they were useful partners and guars of stability as Chinese leader Xi Jinping pursued his massive belt and Road initiative now this group in other words was tied in with operations outside of China that the CCP was using to help establish its belon road projects they not that being Hong CH hon Chinese the families Within These criminal groups set up companies in China and obtained identity papers usually reserved for Chinese Nationals corporate record show now I've personally been reporting on these types of operations for years but the issue is finally getting you a broader attention finally the Chinese Communist Party Works directly with the Triads criminal organizations that do human trafficking slave operations prostitution you know you name it and also the drug operations here's how it typically works you have what are called tongs fraternal organizations that exist all around the country in the United States All Around the World in any kind of Chinese neighborhoods the tongs are typically what make a Chinatown they're the groups that do the human trafficking operations they're the groups you go to if you need something done they kind of work like guilds or unions or family associations things like that but they're the ones who typically at least historically run the chinatowns now the tongs aside from having legitimate operations community outreach maybe cleaning up the community programs they will have operations where they make friends with all the local politicians all the local businessmen they play kind of the leading role in the communities but operating within many of them are the Triads the criminal organizations and they run all the other side of it right there's the legitimate and the illegitimate the Chinese Communist party has two branches of its government that targets these one is the united front work department the other is the overseas Chinese Affairs office these work directly with the Chinese Communist party's political Warfare Departments of its military and they do what's called liaison work where they use these government branches to establish relationships with the tongs and once they get the tongs working with the CCP they control not just the legitimate operations and all those business connections all those political connections all those media connections but they also run the illegitimate operations the drug trade the human trafficking and everything else and so through this the CCP uses this to extend its reach into other countries and it will try to control both the legitimate and illegitimate economies within the country this is how the CCP works now notably Rand also did a report recently on the role the CCP plays in the global drug trade they said this they said the production distribution and use of a legally manufactured fenal should be thought of as an ecosystem and the People's Republic of China the PRC or the Chinese Communist party is at the beginning of the fenal Global Supply Chain in this ecosystem Rand found this it said in its research and Analysis for the commission of combating synthetic opioid trafficking that the PRC China the Chinese Communist Party produces and distributes the vast majority of the precursor chemicals used in illegal fenel production it's not even just fenel notably it's all the synthetic drugs and even things like for example methamphetamine now they note further in that Mexican transnational criminal organizations the cartels have made tens of millions of dollars of cryptocurrency payments to Chinese chemical producers for fenal precursors they work with the cartels on the supplies they work with the cartels on the ping they work with the cartels on the Global Drug trade they note that while the size of the retail fental Market is unknown because of lack of data it is likely that it equates to potentially billions of dollars of illegal fenal entering the United States now look of course it's not just Chinese money launderers working in China right it's also Chinese gangs that have begun operating in and around the United States this isn't just within China it's outside China as well but the CCP plays a key role with all of this in Chinese gangs they've notably been playing Major roles as well with these cartels NBC news said this for much of his career as a federal drug agent Ray Donovan had a singular Focus the capture of Mexican cartel bus jaquin El Chapo Guzman he notes that when Guzman was finally arrested in early 2014 fenal trafficking was on the rise in the US and Donovan soon found his next project what donov team was first to recognize it says has National Security ex implications experts say over the past decade Chinese organized crime groups in the US quietly became the dominant money launderers for Mexican cartels then they use the profits to take over the illicit marijuana trade and it's the parallel schemes enriched and empowered Chinese criminal groups at a time when marijuana laws were loosening and Mexican cartels were flooding the country with fenel with us law enforcement agencies focused on busting fenel traffickers and suppliers the Chinese money Brokers and marijuana producers operated with relative impunity according to more than a doz more than half a dozen retired senior DEA agents now what's important to note these criminal gangs these Chinese ones they're not just normal criminal groups the Chinese Triads are not just your normal gangs they have legitimate and illegitimate operations but most importantly they have direct ties often times to the Chinese Communist party and the Chinese Communist Party uses them for a lot of its own purposes now look in my own research I've exposed how CCP front organizations are intertwined with the Triads again Chinese organized crime the CCB is deeply tied in with these networks and sometimes even runs them this has to do with again the united front and how it works with tongs and in some countries the CCP uses them even more directly in Taiwan for example the CCP uses some of the Triads to attack dissidents to go into protest areas and beat people up this has been shown even in media reports what's also important to note though is that the Chinese gangs are not just normal criminal groups many of these gangs and key figures within them have deep ties with the Chinese Communist party and this brings up a bigger point with the whole CCP Network working with the United States to an extent to stop the flow of drugs it's that the CCP could actually do a whole lot more to stop it if they wanted to but they're not drugs for them are a weapon and also they're a diplomatic tool I'll be talking more about the

enemies and one of them must be a terrorist group we are giving of our life's blood so that the Chinese Communist Party can survive and thrive
