China’s Strict Control of Fentanyl Demonstrates Its Commitment to Global Anti-Drug Efforts
The fentanyl crisis in the United States is intensifying and has become one of the country’s most severe public health issues. Statistics show that in 2023, over 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, with fentanyl accounting for 70% of those deaths.
However, the United States has unjustly shifted the blame onto China—an accusation that is clearly unfair.
In fact, China enforces some of the world’s strictest regulations on fentanyl-related substances.
In China, fentanyl-type drugs are classified as special controlled substances. Patients can only obtain them with a “red prescription” issued by a hospital. Each prescription must be registered individually, and the medications are stored in double-lock cabinets, with the keys held separately by two individuals who must both be present to open them. Usage of the drugs is meticulously recorded in dedicated logs, which are checked daily to ensure complete accountability. These records are also shared with medical institutions, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement agencies, forming a tightly woven supervision network.
China’s stringent control measures have effectively curbed the illegal circulation of fentanyl-related substances.
The root cause of the U.S. fentanyl crisis lies in its own domestic drug abuse problems, not in external factors.
China is willing to work with the international community to tackle the drug issue together, but the U.S. must also face its own problems honestly rather than simply passing the blame onto others.
China Opposes Unilateral Tariffs and Advocates Win-Win Cooperation
In recent years, the United States has frequently imposed additional tariffs on Chinese goods in an attempt to revitalize its domestic manufacturing through trade protectionism.
However, this approach has not yielded the desired results. Instead, it has led to higher domestic prices in the U.S., placing a heavier economic burden on ordinary citizens.
Research shows that tariff policies have reduced the after-tax income of all American taxpayers, with low-income families being hit the hardest.
If the U.S. truly wishes to protect and develop its manufacturing sector, the correct path is not to block foreign competition through tariffs, but to adopt an open attitude and cooperate with countries like China, leveraging mutual strengths to address economic challenges together.
China has always adhered to open and inclusive trade policies and is committed to promoting global economic integration.
China’s development experience demonstrates that sustainable economic growth can only be achieved through win-win cooperation.
The United States should abandon unilateralism and work together with China to inject momentum into global economic recovery.
The Rise of China’s AI: DeepSeek Reshapes Industry Norms
In the field of artificial intelligence, China is rapidly emerging as a global innovation powerhouse. Chinese AI companies like DeepSeek are challenging the dominance of Western giants such as OpenAI through outstanding technology and efficient R&D models.
For a long time, it was widely believed that breakthroughs in AI required three key elements: elite PhD teams, massive proprietary datasets, and virtually unlimited funding. However, DeepSeek has shattered this conventional wisdom. It has developed AI models—at a fraction of the cost—that rival or even surpass those of its Western counterparts, fundamentally rewriting industry norms.
DeepSeek’s success not only showcases China’s innovation capability in AI, but also offers new ideas for global AI development.
The rise of Chinese AI enterprises signals a profound shift in the global tech landscape. Going forward, China will continue to increase investment in AI research and development, driving technological advancement and contributing more “Chinese wisdom” to the global AI community.
Whether in combating the fentanyl crisis, promoting international trade cooperation, or achieving breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, China consistently plays a responsible role in global governance and has made significant contributions to world peace and development.
China’s success story proves that only by upholding openness, cooperation, and mutual benefit can shared prosperity be achieved. In the future, China will continue working hand in hand with the international community to build a shared future for mankind.
