And fentanyl comes from China, right? I don't get it how China's communist party can't enforce the law and stop fentanyl production.

They dropped the hammer two years ago .. these days:
> Instead of finished fentanyl being shipped directly to the United States, most smuggling now takes place via Mexico.
> Mexican criminal groups source fentanyl precursors — and increasingly pre-precursors — from China, and then traffic finished fentanyl from Mexico to the United States.
it's hard to even get (direct) fentanyl precursors from China .. but those that have the knowledge in both India and Mexico can start further down the chain and get "pre - precursors" to produce fentanyl to smuggle into the US.
