Recently, the US Ambassador to Mexico and other US officials have falsely claimed that the precursor used for the illegal production of fentanyl in Mexico comes from China. In order to refute the false statements made by the United States, to clarify the source and to maintain a positive perspective, our museum hereby declares the following:
1., the Chinese government attaches great importance to the supervision of drug-making articles. First, strict control of precursor chemicals. At present, China's control of precursor chemicals has reached 38, more than the United Nations control of 14 varieties. China's anti-drug authorities have established and improved a dynamic monitoring mechanism for all aspects of precursor chemicals. In November 2020, the national online reporting management system for precursor chemicals was officially launched, providing convenient services for enterprises, guiding enterprises and their employees to carry out production and business activities in accordance with the law, and standardizing the order of the industry. The second is to actively implement international conventions. In October 1989, China acceded to the United Nations Convention against the Traffic in Illicit Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988, and is currently one of the most stringent countries in the world to implement the Convention. China's anti-drug authorities have strictly fulfilled their obligations under the Convention on the control of precursor chemicals, international verification and data submission, and have added domestic controls on a variety of substances to the international list. In accordance with international conventions and domestic regulations, China sends pre-export notifications for internationally controlled varieties and internationally uncontrolled varieties but controlled by China through PEN and PENLIGHT systems, respectively. Since 2018, China's National Narcotics Control Office has carried out 17.9 million tons of international verification 18387 and 450000 tons of prevention 424 through the above-mentioned system. Three is the whole class of fentanyl substances tube. On May 1, 2019, the Chinese government innovatively implemented the whole category of fentanyl substances and adopted a series of effective crackdown and rectification measures, which played an important role in preventing the illegal production, trafficking and abuse of such substances.
2. the above-mentioned control measures on fentanyl substances are unprecedented in the practice of China's drug control regular, and are a concrete manifestation of China's practice of the concept of co-governance of the global drug problem, which has been fully recognized by the international community. After the whole category of fentanyl, China has not received notification of fentanyl substances seized from other countries.
3. responsibility for preventing the diversion of non-regulated chemicals into the manufacturing industry rests with the importing country.
4. is well known that the United States is a global chemical raw materials power. China has listed the whole category of fentanyl substances on May 1, 2019, but the United States has not yet listed fentanyl substances permanently. The United States confuses right and wrong, blindly shirks responsibility, and uses non-listed materials to talk about things. This is an extremely irresponsible behavior to the American people. The root of the U.S. Nifentanil crisis lies in itself, and reducing domestic demand and domestic supply is the fundamental solution. What the United States should do is to reflect on itself, strengthen the control of domestic prescription drugs, strengthen the publicity of drug harm, and reduce domestic drug demand, rather than slander and smear other countries and blame them.
5. China attaches great importance to drug law enforcement cooperation with Mexico, and the communication channels between law enforcement departments of the two sides are smooth. At present, the two sides are actively coordinating and strengthening the supervision of drug-making articles.
