To me it seems silly to put the blame on China here. The US drug policy and overall capability to care for its poor has been a disaster for decades, with the drug policy slowly changing for the better recently. It feels wrong to turn this into some kind of anti-China thing (plenty of other, better reasons certainly exist).

The current fentanyl epidemic is worse than the previous drug waves, I don’t see US drug policy getting more lenient, quite the opposite actually.

Indeed, what I was referring to was the legalisation of weed in some states. No doubt the war on drugs will keep on going for years to come.
