\n The Trump administration on Tuesday unveiled sanctions against an alleged Chinese fentanyl distributor deemed \u201cone of the most significant drug traffickers in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhang Taotao is accused of shipping large amounts of the powerful synthetic opioid to the US. Fentanyl is less expensive than heroin and prescript<\/a>ion painkillers, but can kill in very small doses.<\/p>\n

Fentanyl sourced largely from labs in China has driven a spike in US drug overdose deaths. More than 31,000 Americans died after taking synthetic opioids in 2018, continuing a five-year surge.<\/p>\n

\u201cZhang has shipped synthetic opioids to the United States via multiple individuals and freight-forwarding services and used false labelling to disguise parcel contents and avoid seizure by authorities,\u201d the State Department said in a statement. \u201cOnce a package is received in the United States, U.S.-based distributors press fentanyl into counterfeit pharmaceutical pills for further distribution and domestic consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Treasury Department will apply sanctions against Zhang and Hong Kong-based Allyrise Technology<\/a> Group Co. under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States continues to seek cooperation with [China] to tackle this supply chain threat and calls on the [Chinese] government to accelerate efforts to regulate its chemical industry and reduce the diversion of precursors into the international black market,\u201d the State Department said.<\/p>\n

The move follows a nosedive in US-China relations over a range of issues, including China\u2019s Communist government concealing early data on COVID-19 before the virus spread abroad, killing 178,000 Americans and leaving millions jobless.<\/p>\n

The US recently sanctioned Chinese officials for eliminating political autonomy in Hong Kong and for human rights abuses against the mostly Muslim Uyghur minority.<\/p>\n

President Trump often said early in his term that he enjoyed a close relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and that Xi assured him that illegal fentanyl exporters would face execution after being tolerated for years.<\/p>\n

Trump has given varying remarks on whether he\u2019s satisfied with Xi\u2019s job halting the drug.<\/p>\n

\u201cFentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year. President Xi said this would stop \u2013 it didn\u2019t,\u201d Trump tweeted in August 2019. But in February \u2014 before the COVID-19 pandemic and shortly after signing a \u201cphase one\u201d trade deal with China \u2014 Trump said that \u201cfentanyl is a huge problem. It\u2019s almost, at this moment, 100 percent made in China. And they are starting to enforce it on our behalf.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
