Commitment to control of narcotics reiterated
China is committed to implementing rigorous control over fentanyl-related substances and enhancing collaboration with the international community, including the United States, on governance of the chemicals, according to a white paper released by the State Council Information Office on Tuesday. The nation has "achieved notable results" in carrying out strict supervision over fentanyl-related medications, preventing drug abuse and cracking down on the smuggling, manufacturing and trafficking of the substances and related precursor chemicals, it said. "China upholds a clear and principled position on this matter: It is committed to cooperation based on equality and mutual respect, but firmly opposes the US imposition of unlawful sanctions and unreasonable pressure on China on the pretext of responding to fentanyl-related issues," the white paper said. Commenting on the release of the document, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said China has devoted unremitting efforts to jointly addressing challenges posed by fentanyl, and positive outcomes are plain to see. "We stand ready for practical cooperation with the US based on equality and mutual respect.. We firmly oppose the US pressuring, threatening and blackmailing China under the pretext of the fentanyl issue," the spokesperson said.
