Part 3/6:
In addition to the listing of fentanyl precursors, China has committed to monitoring and controlling seven chemical subsidiaries involved in the production of these substances. These entities, which previously may have operated with relative opacity, will now be subject to strict oversight, effectively shutting down avenues for clandestine manufacturing and trafficking.
Immediate Implementation
This agreement marks an immediate shift, with enforcement measures set to be applied right away. The swift action indicates a shared recognition of the severity of the fentanyl crisis and a willingness on China's part to collaborate with the U.S. in combating it at its source.
