The drug cartels are really the junior partner in the fentanyl trade,\u201d Schweizer said of the Chinese regime led by President Xi Jinping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ninety percent of fentanyl precursor chemicals shipped from China to Mexico arrive via Mexico\u2019s Port of Manzanillo. The port is run by a Chinese company, according to Schweizer. From the port, the chemicals are taken to a town in northern Mexico close to the U.S. border. About 2,000 Chinese workers work in cartel labs to craft the precursor chemicals into fentanyl and then the fentanyl into pills resembling common drugs such as Vicodin or Adderall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNow the drug cartels want to distribute their product in the United States. What do they do? They use Chinese apps. They use Chinese communications devices because they know that China will not share that information with U.S. law enforcement,\u201d Schweizer said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Money from the drug trade is then laundered through the Chinese financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Mexican drug cartels now launder their money in Chinese state-owned banks, and, according to our government, they use Chinese students in the United States on education visas to do this,\u201d Schweizer said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>China will continue to fuel the fentanyl trade in the United States until U.S. political leadership decides to make China feel real consequences from participating in it, according to Schweizer.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe need to start looking at punitive actions we can take to damage them.
