President Lopez Obrador has written to Xi Jinping amid a spat with the US about the trafficking of fentanyl. The Mexican president has asked China for information on drug shipments.


Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Tuesday that he had sent a letter to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to ask for help to bring fentanyl trafficking under control.

Lopez Obrador read out his letter in which he countered US claims that Mexico is not doing enough to prevent the transporting of the drug into the US which is suffering a surge in overdose deaths.

"We come to you, President Xi Jinping, not to ask for your support in the face of these rude threats, but to request that for humanitarian reasons, you help us control shipments of fentanyl that can be sent from China to our country," the Mexican president wrote in his letter.

"It is assumed that the fentanyl is coming from Asia. What must be made clear is that we don't produce fentanyl," Lopez Obrador said. "It's a primary resource that is produced in Asia, and it's also important to clarify this: who is producing it?"

The president's letter comes after some US Republican lawmakers have brought up the idea of deploying military force in Mexico to tackle the problem and take on Mexican drug cartels.

The letter is also a response to US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham who said that Mexico was doing nothing to clamp down on the trade of fentanyl.

Lopez Obrador asked Xi for information on "who is importing this substance, in what quantity, in which shipments, when are they leaving Chinese ports, which ports do they arrive at in Mexico and what specific type of substance is it."

The letter is part of an attempt to demonstrate to the US that it is making efforts to tackle the problem. "There is no other country in the world that is doing as much against the trafficking of fentanyl to the United States as Mexico is," Lopez Obrador said.

He also pointed out that last year Mexico seized 7 tons of fentanyl and destroyed 1,383 secret labs.

No. Mexico complain to China about how rude and threatening US is.
And China is not exporting fentanyl . It is Chemical that is used to make fentanyl.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Quote:-
MEXICO CITY —
Mexico’s president asked his Chinese counterpart for help Tuesday in halting chemicals from China used by Mexican drug dealers to illegally produce fentanyl, while also complaining of “rude” U.S. pressure to curb the drug trade.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has previously said that fentanyl is America’s problem and is caused by “a lack of hugs” in U.S. families. On Tuesday, he doubled down on those themes and went further, venting in a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping about “rude threats” from U.S. legislators over the drug trade.

China is not the main producer and exporter of fentanyl.

Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and South Africa are the four largest manufacturers and exporters of fentanyl.

what did chatGPT say

 

[etylo]

Yeah, just blame others one after another when its your own problem.

 

[S10]

The root cause is that US has transformed into a drug addicted degenerative society. The fentanyl flooding into US is made in Mexico, and Americunts blame China for exporting legal chemicals.

News flash, China has no control over the goods once they leave the border. It's like blaming the steel maker for getting stabbed with a knife.

America low worth of demographics only love gang banging and hard drugs. The longer the better.

 

[casual]

America has drug centers built by government where addicts do hard drugs. Fentanyl is seen as a 'light' drug. People want this new benzo shit that will literally turn them into zombies. The police don't care. And somehow the US gov is saying this is a China problem lol.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Uh..huh..I see...well...

Why don't we post the actual letter that was written in Spanish by the President of Mexico to President Xi himself...for us all to translate...have any problem with that? You sure?

So please point out where he asks China to stop exporting the chemicals used to make fentanyl to Mexico. Show us that line please. Point it out to us all!! We are all waiting...let's go!! Times a wasting!!


In fact..hmm wait a minute...let's look at this line in particular:

Reitero que nuestro pals no se produce fentanilo

Let's throw that into Google translate..and see what it says:

I reiterate that our country does not produce fentanyl

Hmm...odd...how about this...

Se trata, president, del trafico de fentanilo que, segun informacion disponible, se produce en Asia y se vende libremente para su exportacion a Canada, Estados Unidos y nuestro pais

Let's throw that into Google translate..and see what it says:

It is about, President, the trafficking of fentanyl which, according to available information, is produced in Asia and is freely sold for export to Canada, the United States and our country.

Well that's strange...Nan Yang is saying that the President of Mexico is asking China to stop sending the chemicals that are used to make Fentanyl to Mexico...and anybody who says otherwise is spreading misinformation.

But in the letter the President of Mexico is explicitly saying Mexico is not making fentanyl out of chemicals by China sent to Mexico. He is specifically saying Fentanyl is being sent to Mexico.

Funny that!

You are now my favorite lying Asian clown
