Earlier this month the Global Times, an English language news medium based out of China, published a 2-part series on the fentanyl problem in the U.S., claiming that the United States has been wrongly blaming China for this crisis that is American-made. These are articles that were also republished in the Russian English news. See:
GT investigates: Unpacking the truth behind America’s fentanyl crisis
GT investigates: Why has fentanyl become a tool for the US to shift blame?
While these reports contain useful information in understanding the fentanyl crisis in the U.S., they were hard to read, perhaps because they were first written in Mandarin and then later translated into English, and they were lacking references.

So I have done my own investigation into the fentanyl crisis for the past couple of days, and I am going to show in this article that China banned all forms of fentanyl years ago, and that fentanyl was developed by Western pharmaceutical companies, and that these pharmaceutical companies continue to earn $billions from the sale of fentanyl, and according to some settled lawsuits on the “opioid scandal”, the U.S. pharmaceutical companies themselves have developed their own “cartel” of willing physicians who intentionally prescribed fentanyl with the intention of getting people addicted to it to increase sales.
While the ingredients to make illegal fentanyl continue to flow from China into Mexico for the illegal cartels to produce fentanyl to bring across the border, this “illegal” cartel pales in comparison to the “legal” cartel of U.S. pharmaceutical companies and their doctors who are licensed to prescribe fentanyl, that is then dispensed from “legal” drug dealers in the U.S. such as Walgreens and CVS.
The most dangerous cartel with their drug pushers in the U.S. is operating under the color of the law, and can be found on almost every street corner of every city and town in America.
So let’s stop blaming China for America’s drug addictions and diseases, whether it is fentanyl or the fake COVID-19 “virus,” because the real criminals are, and always have been, the criminal pharmaceutical companies operating right here in the U.S.
Who Developed Fentanyl?
Fentanyl was first synthesized by Paul Janssen in 1959 and was approved for medical use in the United States in 1968.
Paul Janssen was a Belgian physician and the founder of Janssen Pharmaceutica, which is now a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.
Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic “piperidine” opioid. It is 30 to 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine.
As of 2017, fentanyl was the most widely-prescribed synthetic opioid in medicine. In 2019, it was the 278th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than a million prescriptions.
