  1. I'm sure China will deal in these talks in a completely forthright and hones…..lol, sorry I couldn't keep a straight face

  2. Where's Jake Sullivan , Lloyd Austin

  3. Can we place fentanyl orders for use in capital punishment?

  4. Dude why are we even talking to those guys, all they do is abuse the US's trust and kindness.

  5. Nothing happens in China without endorsement from the CCP. Fentanyl is a deliberste chemical attack by China.

  6. Stop being drug addicts = problem solved 🫵🏻🤡

  7. They just dont wanna get caught in the open with their narc trade agreements withthe cartels. So they'll "lock it down." And be more commercial.

  8. China is a higher-ranking member of NATO, and we need to stop criticizing them. They have an advantage over us. They were the ones who told Europe to become Mercantilist in the first place. There would have been no Columbus Story without them. They're not literally listed as a NATO member, but that's because they don't want us to think we can give them our input/feedback/questions/concerns.

  9. China takes Biden to be weak and feckless (as they should). If you don't fix the BORDER, you will do nothing to stop the fentanyl crisis. Period.

  10. Maybe if Trump gets elected, he’ll give china a financial ultimatum to try and cut the precursors off before they get out. But once the cats out of the bag, it’s over.

  11. Now the Biden Administration is pretending to care about Fentanyl? 🤔

  12. Just close the border and stop it from coming in!

  13. China way to sent Fentanyl to Usa . .. China use Mexico Killing our kids . Never trust with tham .

  14. It had better stop and here’s why Americans are getting fed up this isn’t crack this isn’t coke this isn’t even heroin. Its not x. This stuff is dropping kids in their suburban wonderful homes in the bedroom and mom finds her all American pretty cheerleader daughter gone from a pill she got a friend that was fentanyl..

    what that kinda stuff does is pushes the population to ask for harsher sanctions everything short of war. Because it’s effecting children in areas that shouldn’t be effected lets be very clear if this was a street issue or minority issue it wouldn’t be that much of an national issue.. but because of who it’s effecting it will be handled. China has to get that under control batches of that stuff cant be coming overseas in freaking drum barrels if i was a Cartel dude id stay clear away from this crap because eventually it’s gonna come with Terrorist charges thats where its headed.

  15. China is just MADE IN CHINA, which is the term so popular for its TRASH, 😮

  16. Let's just quit importing Chinese goods. That would be very beneficial to America.

  17. That's in Sloppy Joe Biden and Kamalas Hands…. disrespectful Politicians 🇺🇲🌹🇺🇲🥾🥾

  18. Fentanyl should just be banned from being manufactured. We have plenty of pain meds.

  19. I appreciate that they used pharmaceutical grade fentanyl in the thumbnail. Drawing attention to the responsibility of pharma for this problem

  20. make sure you negotiate the 10% for the big guy

  21. By the way how is Hunter's Chinese energy company. And you all said it was just Burisma. Ha

  22. If you can sanction other countries due to Human Right abuses.. you can apply that to China also.. remember, Libby says everyone is equal.. Time for you to put lives over money as your little charade about caring about non–whites, equity, equality, etc., has got a lot of people fooled.. but not all of us. Boycott China, secure southern border = Opioid epidemic solved

  23. Cutting border wire & wanting more $ to hire more agents to process illegals into the country says otherwise ….they think we stupid

  24. You could always treat addicts and make it easier to access pharmaceutical-grade methadone and other opioids.

  25. Well that nice because right now Texas is being sued over it

  26. If they cared about the American people they would’ve done something to protect us years ago.

  27. maybe the solution is to completely cut off china relations with the united states including via proxy and make it retroactive.

    by proxy meaning other countries could not be used to ship goods to the united states.

    retroactive meaning all ships in the pipeline would be turned away at the port.

  28. Can't you ban it altogether except import through government ?

  29. The MAGA GQP don't want the fentanyl to stop.

  30. no one cares why are the chinese taking our dna for!!!!

  31. It is great to hear that China agreed to produce more quality fentanyl at reasonable prices and that the CIA agreed to push the drug as they did with crack.
