Fentanyl "precursors" is basically a misleading way to say black pepper. Mexican cartel is importing a legal trade good from China (and other black pepper suppliers). China is actually pretty harsh on drugs and drug trafficking, There's an element of fuckery to the narrative of Fentanyl coming from China.
The people that are really to blame here are the CIA. They neutered the Mexican government, built up the cartels as accomplice or subordinate to them, and ensured our border was ineffective. The fentanyl is being made in Mexico and we could solve the entire problem by maintaining an effective border. They wont make fentanyl without access to the market for it and without access to a market the cartel loses money and power over Mexico.
