the Chinese actually call it "spiritual opium".

the CCP probably see it as some sort of poetic revenge for the real opium trade and the ensuing Sino-British war that they see as the start of the "century of humiliation"

They also manufacture most of the precursors for fentanyl, so it's not like the poetic revenge stops at TikTok.

Precurses? They make and market new analogs to pass importation on Alibaba (though they don't pass the Analog act so don't get any ideas it's legal).
