Schweizer: Chinese Chemists Working With Mexican Cartels Creating Fentanyl To Kill Americans

New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer is once again speaking out against China's sinister role in fueling America's deadly fentanyl crisis, as President Donald Trump seeks to punish the communist regime for its involvement.

"There are 2000 Chinese nationals in northern Mexico working for the Sinaloa drug cartel," Schweizer, citing DEA data, told https://wabcradio.com/episode/peter-schweizer-there-are-2000-chinese-chemists-working-in-mexico-creating-fentanyl-to-kill-americans-04-25-25/

on Friday. "They’re basically chemists."

"They take the precursor chemicals that, of course, arrive from China and they turn it into the deadly cocktail, which is what people are dying from. They produce pills. People who die of fentanyl overdose, they think they’re talking a Vicodin or Adderall,” he added.

Although fentanyl-related deaths in the U.S. are declining, the crisis remains a grim reality. According to the https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db522.htm

figures estimate approximately 55,126 deaths from synthetic opioids in the 12 months ending September 2024—a significant and hopeful drop, but still a sobering reminder of fentanyl’s ongoing toll.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly pointed the finger at China as a key culprit in America’s fentanyl crisis, accusing Beijing of fueling the epidemic by allowing precursor chemicals to flow to Mexican cartels. In a February 2025 White House statement, Trump accused China of subsidizing companies to export fentanyl-related chemicals, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/imposing-duties-to-address-the-synthetic-opioid-supply-chain-in-the-peoples-republic-of-china/

“Fentanyl continues to pour into our Country from China, through Mexico and Canada, killing hundreds of thousands of our people, and it better stop, NOW!”

China has consistently denied accusations that it is a primary driver of the U.S. fentanyl crisis. Chinese officials argue that the crisis is a U.S. domestic issue rooted in demand, not their supply of precursor chemicals. In March 2025, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jianhttps://english.news.cn/20250304/c583242839fe4d84aafd36d400ad91d6/c.html

the U.S. for imposing tariffs under the pretext of the fentanyl issue, calling such actions unjustified and counterproductive.
