Sensational congressional report reveals how China is 'slaughtering Americans' by pumping fentanyl into the U.S.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) provides tax breaks for fentanyl exporters to bring more of the deadly drug into the U.S., a blockbuster congressional report reveals.

Overdose killed over 108,000 Americans in 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the majority of which came from synthetic opioids like fentanyl. 

That is far more American deaths than were suffered during the entirety of the U.S.-Vietnam War, which took place over 20 years.

During the same time period in China there were reportedly zero fentanyl related overdose deaths.  

The House Select Committee on the CCP released a report before a Tuesday morning hearing on the matter indicating how the People's Republic of China (PRC) has been providing tax breaks to fentanyl exporters since at least 2018. 

'The CCP provides government subsidies to PRC companies that manufacture fentanyl analogues, precursors, and other synthetic narcotics, so long as these companies sell them outside China,' outgoing Chairman Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., said at the Tuesday hearing. 

The Chinese Communist Party has provided tax rebates for fentanyl ingredient exporters

Chinese-made fentanyl ingredients are usually sent to Mexico where they area prepared into pill and powder form for consumption in the U.S.

'The subsidies come in the form of rebates for the Value-Added Tax or VAT.'

'The CCP uses VAT rebates to dramatically increase exports from China for other goods. We now know it does the same for illegal synthetic narcotics.' 

The report found at least 17 chemical compounds including multiple types of fentanyl, MDMA - known commonly as 'Molly' - and PCP were all products which qualified for value added tax rebates.  

Some rebates for fentanyl producers reached up to 13 percent. 

The report also finds that the CCP is directly involved in some of the fentanyl-producing companies.

It indicates how certain government entities, such as a PRC-operated prison and a publicly traded Chinese company, both engage in trafficking fentanyl. 

'The U.S. has long known – and I certainly knew as Attorney General – that the People’s Republic of China is the source of the fentanyl that is slaughtering Americans,' Donald Trump's former Attorney General Bill Barr testified.

'Fentanyl deaths are equivalent to a packed Boeing 737 crashing every single day,' he added

Daily U.S. overdose deaths to fentanyl average around 200, similar to the capacity of a commercial plane.  

'Some may find it hard to believe that a modern state would be so complicit in the campaign of mass murder against the citizens of another country. But the Committee’s work now provides powerful evidence that it is,' Barr said.

Lawmakers during the hearing noted that many of the activities surrounding the fentanyl production is illegal in the PRC, including trading cryptocurrency, which is the preferred tender for Chinese fentanyl vendors. 

This cryptocurrency trade has also led to large money laundering schemes emerging in the PRC that have led to the enrichment of criminals and the Chinese chemical sector, according to the report.

Fentanyl is cheaper and more addictive than other opioids like heroin and morphine, it is also completely synthetic, making it easier to create and distribute

The report suggests creating a task force to combat and disrupt the opioid supply chain as well as strengthening sanctions against the PRC.

'The PRC and the CCP have the capacity to shut this down,' Barr said. 

'There is no question they are aware what's happening, and they are aware of the specifics.'

'The question is, to me, are they involved in it are they actually complicit in trying to encourage it. And I think the answer is yes,' Barr said.
