האם המשטר הסיני אכן החליט לעצור את הספקת מרכיבי הסמים שפגעו קשות באזרחי ארה"ב בשנים האחרונות?

China is tightening controls on chemicals tied to fentanyl production in what appears to be another sign of cooperation with the U.S. The move comes just days after a summit between President Trump and Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping. China announced Friday that three chemicals will now need special approval before they can be shipped to the U.S., Mexico or Canada. Officials say the chemicals are key ingredients used to make fentanyl, the synthetic opioid linked to tens of thousands of overdose deaths in America. Chinese state-run media says several agencies in Beijing will oversee the new restrictions as part of the country's expanded anti-narcotics campaign. The announcement comes after recent reports of joint drug crackdowns in the U.S. and China, including operations in Florida, Nevada and two Chinese provinces. The crackdown also comes after years of pressure from Washington, which accused Beijing of failing to stop the flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals. Last year, President Trump imposed tariffs on China tied to the fentanyl dispute. Recent cooperation following the Trump-Xi meeting signals a possible shift in tone between the U.S. and the Chinese regime on curbing fentanyl.
