The Ministry of Commerce responds to US sanctions on Chinese entities and individuals for fentanyl, tablet press, and fentanyl, citing sales of equipment involving fentanyl
Beijing, June 6th (Xinhua) - The person in charge of the Meida Department of the Ministry of Commerce stated on June 6th that China has always strictly implemented drug control and, in a humanitarian spirit, has made every effort to help the US address and resolve the fentanyl issue. The US side disregards the facts and imposes sanctions on Chinese entities and individuals, claiming that tablet presses and mold equipment sold to the US and Mexico can be used to manufacture fentanyl, in an attempt to confuse the public, mislead the public, and shift responsibility for its own inadequate governance. China firmly opposes this and will firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and individuals.
A reporter asked: Recently, the US Treasury Department announced sanctions on 7 Chinese entities and 6 individuals for selling tablet presses, molds, and other equipment related to fentanyl. What is the comment of the Ministry of Commerce on this? The person in charge of the Meida Department of the Ministry of Commerce made the above response.
