He has promised to protect Taiwan\u2019s independence from Communist China. Biden reportedly told Xi that he supported the United States \u201cOne China\u201d policy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/u-s-relations-with-taiwan\/\">According<\/a> to the U.S. State Department, the policy means that the U.S. opposes \u201cany unilateral changes to the status quo from either side,\u201d but does not support Taiwan\u2019s independence and expects cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Xi threatened that Taiwan remains the \u201cfirst red line not to be crossed\u201d and Beijing wouldn\u2019t tolerate any actions from Taiwanese independence supporters, AP reported.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to investigative journalist and author Peter Schweizer, China is the main driver behind fentanyl being smuggled into the United States by Mexican drug cartels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schweizer, author of \u201cBlood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans,\u201d discussed the crisis on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/fentanyl-america-s-silent-epidemic\">Fentanyl: America\u2019s Silent Epidemic<\/a>,\u201d part of a DailyWire+ series by Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro on <em>The Divided States of Biden<\/em>. The author said the fentanyl trade that contributes to tens of thousands of American deaths every year begins in China.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThey\u2019re the senior partner. The drug cartels are really the junior partner in the fentanyl trade,\u201d Schweizer told Shapiro, speaking of the Chinese regime led by President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p 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.<\/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=1711847459151000&#038;usg=AOvVaw3OccKYAVbZP-9J-sgruazM\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Money from the drug trade is then laundered through the Chinese financial system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Tim Pearce contributed to this article.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/china-is-the-senior-partner-directing-the-fentanyl-crisis-killing-americans-author-peter-schweizer-says\">Related: China Is The \u2018Senior Partner\u2019 Directing The Fentanyl Crisis Killing Americans, Author Peter Schweizer Says<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese President Xi Jinping, amidst accusations linking China to the deadly fentanyl trade with Mexican cartels, urged President Biden to prioritize stability in China-U.S. relations.
