According to author Peter Schweizer, China is deliberately flooding the United States with fentanyl “to undermine America and win the next world conflict.”
In an excerpt from his new book, “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans,” published in New York Post, Schweizer details China's alleged hands-on involvement in the deadly fentanyl crisis. Only in 2023 did fentanyl flow into the United States over 100,000 American overdoses in 12 months.

“While we debate domestic policy to address the fentanyl crisis, the reality is that Beijing is deeply involved in all stages of the production and distribution of the drug in the United States,” Schweizer writes. “Not surprisingly, in 2019, some senior officials at the US Department of Homeland Security called for fentanyl to be classified as a 'weapon of mass destruction.'”
Fentanyl became a “flack” in America “by deliberate design,” he says.
“Beijing's hand can be found at every stage of the spread of the poison in North America,” writes the political consultant. “Based on leaked US national security documents, emails or correspondence hacked by the Mexican government, and Chinese business records, we know that the fentanyl operation is under Chinese control from start to finish.”
In the lengthy excerpt, Schweizer meticulously details China's involvement in the production of the “pharmaceutical ingredients needed to produce the synthetic cocktail”; the creation of “fentanyl and counterfeit pills in both Mexico and the United States”; drug distribution in the US; the “facilitation of drug cartel financial transactions,” including “money laundering”; and the “facilitation of communications networks used by cartels to operate undetected in the United States.”

“One method used to launder large sums of money is to employ thousands of Chinese students on education visas in the United States to collect suitcases of cash and then transfer them for money laundering, and the money is sent through from WeChat and Chinese banks,” he said. reveals “As one DEA official said, 'I can't stress it enough, the involvement of the Chinese has really complicated all of these schemes.'”
The Chinese have been working with Mexican drug cartels, according to Schweizer.
“The Chinese triads began to forge relationships with the Mexican drug cartels and quickly became business partners with them. The cartels began to mix fentanyl with their heroin,” he explains. “The production of fentanyl turned out to be so lucrative that 'El Chapo', the notorious head of the Sinaloa cartel, quickly switched from producing heroin and cocaine to fentanyl.”
Canada is also involved.
“A similar operation, but on a smaller scale, occurred north of the border in Canada,” writes Schweizer. “Chinese triads set up labs along the US border in British Columbia to produce fentanyl in Canada, smuggle it into the United States and ship it overseas.”
According to the author, the cartels also favor a Canadian company called Phantom Secure to “evade surveillance by US law enforcement” when they communicate.
“Phantom Secure, a cartel favorite for years, offered custom-modified mobile devices such as BlackBerrys and smartphones, as well as a service to erase all data in the event of a user's arrest,” he writes.
China, says Schweizer, learned from the opium wars it fought with the West in the 19th century.
“In the mid-19th century, the British Empire used opium to destabilize China and win a trade war,” he notes. “The Chinese know their history and have turned around. They are using fentanyl to undermine America and win the next world conflict.”
