China addresses fentanyl control amid tensions with US

Beijing, Mar 4 (Prensa Latina) China released on Tuesday a white paper about the control of fentanyl-related substances in the country, amid trade tensions with the United States over this issue.

The document details the measures this nation took to address restrictions on that substance and promote effective global governance.

Among the issues are the scientific definition of fentanyl, ensuring legitimate medical use along with strict control, legally combating crimes related to these substances, and regulating their precursor chemicals.

It also emphasizes the development of advanced technologies to improve monitoring and the effectiveness of comprehensive control.

The document notes that China has prioritized the restriction of fentanyl-related substances through comprehensive policies and a systematic approach.

According to the text, the country has made significant progress in regulating these medications, preventing their abuse, and combating trafficking and illicit production.

The document stated that China has also strengthened international cooperation in the anti-drug fight and worked with countries such as the United States to address this global challenge.

Beijing included fentanyl-related medications in the Catalog of Anesthetic Drugs and thus subjected their production, distribution, use, and export to strict control.
