Part 4/7:
Influence and Control of Organized Crime Groups
The extent of CCP influence over transnational organized crime groups raises serious concerns. These groups are often seen as mere tools or extensions of state policy rather than independent entities. The influence ranges from logistical and financial support to direct operational control.
By leveraging these networks, the CCP seems to aim at a twofold objective: first, to secure a steady flow of drugs like fentanyl into Western societies—agents of chaos and destruction—and second, to destabilize these communities from within. The pervasive presence of deadly opioids exacerbates public health crises, overwhelming healthcare systems, increasing mortality rates, and destabilizing social order.
