In a recent development, a spokesperson from the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized the importance of maintaining robust drug-control cooperation between China and the United States. This call comes in the wake of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose an additional 10 percent tariff on all Chinese imports.
China has long been recognized as one of the world's most stringent countries in counter-narcotics efforts. The spokesperson highlighted China's proactive measures, noting that as early as 2019, China became the first country globally to officially schedule all fentanyl-related substances. This move underscores China's commitment to combating the fentanyl crisis, which has significantly impacted the United States.
\"China has provided unwavering support to the U.S. in addressing the fentanyl issue, demonstrating a spirit of humanity and cooperation,\" the spokesperson stated. The collaborative efforts between the two nations have yielded highly productive outcomes, reinforcing the positive trajectory of their drug-control partnership.
Looking ahead, China has expressed its readiness to continue and deepen this cooperation based on principles of equality, mutual benefit, and mutual respect. This stance highlights China's dedication to fostering a collaborative environment aimed at effectively tackling global drug challenges.
