'Exposing China’s Complicity in America’s Fentanyl Crisis’ panel was meant to sow fear of China, writes Aaron Sobczak

Heritage Foundation hosted an event in September titled, “ Exposing China’s Complicity in America’s Fentanyl Crisis .

The event was meant to sow a fear of China , and support for the drug war.

The panel laid the blame for fentanyl-related deaths on China , where it is manufactured, and Mexico , where cartels traffic it.

This ignores how unreliable sanctions are, and that fentanyl production can shift as needed.

As the fentanyl issue leads even so-called “ America First’s politicians to support a larger American footprint around the world, libertarians must remain vigilant in opposition to solutions that increase state control.

Fentanyl is a dangerous substance, but the state has the potential to cause far more harm.
