A new money laundering network originating from China is significantly contributing to the fentanyl crisis in the United States. According to a detailed, months-long investigation by the Financial Times, wealthy Chinese individuals are using this network to move their wealth out of China. This network operates through encrypted Chinese apps such as WeChat and collaborates with Mexican drug cartels to facilitate the distribution of fentanyl. The investigation was conducted by Joe Miller Jr. and Jamil Anderlini, highlighting the complex international connections fueling the drug trade. The U.S. Fentanyl Working Group, part of the Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, aims to exert significant pressure on the Chinese government to curb this crisis.
