China: US tax policies affect cooperation
China Claims Trump Administration's Tariff Policy Will Hinder Fentanyl Cooperation and Undermine Mutual Trust
According to the South China Morning Post on February 3rd, China's Public Security Ministry criticized the US decision to impose 10% tariffs on all Chinese import goods, claiming it would disrupt cooperation in controlling fentanyl drug trafficking.
The ministry argued that the fentanyl crisis in the United States stems from internal issues, not external factors. They highlighted that since 2019, China has:
- Added fentanyl-related substances to controlled substances list
- Made efforts in joint drug control
- Called on the US to correct its actions
Chinese media outlets echoed these statements, condemning the new tariff decision as political manipulation. They emphasized that most fentanyl trade continues within the United States among its own citizens.
The ministry suggested that the tariffs would negatively impact bilateral cooperation and mutual trust, particularly in addressing drug trafficking challenges.
