China says US should do more to cut its ‘enormous’ opioid demand
US President Donald Trump declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency in October and said he discussed with Chinese President Xi Jinping how to "stop the lethal flow" of the drugs during his visit to China last month.
The US Department of Justice indicted two major Chinese drug traffickers in October on charges of making and selling illegal versions of fentanyl.
The United States should take action to reduce demand for the drugs fuelling its deadly opioid crisis rather than simply accusing China of being the major source, a top Chinese drug control official said.
“The biggest difficulty China faces in opioid control is that such drugs are in enormous demand in the US,” Yu Haibin of the China National Narcotics Control Commission said at a news briefing, the China Daily reported on Friday.
