Four questions on China, multiple references about China, but not a word on Perdue or the Sackler's

In this logic the ironworks making the steel for the guns are responsible for killings, not the person who shot? Typical American exceptionalism.

When doctors in US stopped prescribing opiates for pain then fentanyl filled the void.

if doctors inside the states get bonus for prescribing opioids DOES NOT MATTER where they come from, but laboratories produce more than 70% inside the nation, of course they pay taxes.

The paradox of living in the wealthiest nation in the world and then succumbing to an unhappiness epidemic rooted in pain

Job losses.... hopelessness... rampant house prices... rampant inflation.... who knew.

Solution.STOP BUYING IT.

Modern chemical warfare

My beautiful son died 2 years ago from a fentanyl overdose

Thanks to Times Radio for introducing us overseas listeners to the "rich tapestry" of regional accents in the UK and reminding us that the global lingua franca spoken daily by 2bn people worldwide originated in these "small islands;" Just love those rolled Rs😉

Have a look at Rat Park a study by Canadian psychologist Bruce K. Alexander in 1978. This study shows the role of the environment and social interaction on addictive behavior. It went a long way to debunking the chemical anchor theory of addiction. In the study rats were given The key discovery from the Rat Park experiment was that healthy social interaction significantly affected addiction. Rats were given a choice between regular water and morphine laced water. When in an unhealthy environment without social interaction the rats opted for the morphine laced water. When placed in Rat Park with a fun environment to explore and with other rats to interact with and properly socialize with, the rats stopped drinking the morphine laced water and overwhelmingly opted just for regular water. The findings showed that Rats in a supportive community were less likely to choose the morphine-laced water. This strongly refuted the chemical anchor theory of addiction.

I JUST GOING SAY WHY.BLAME SOMEONE ELSE FOR WHAT YOU do willingly. I been living on the US for 40 years never have touch drugs.with my hands

Key driver for Chinese ingredient suppliers is that it circumvents ccp ban on yuan exchange. Suppliers buy ingredients in yuan and get paid in dollars (outside China).

Taken the MSM a while to wake up to this

I must lead a sheltered life. I live in Arizona and have never known anyone affected by Fentanyl, I just heard about it on the news.

Any mother/father’s worst nightmare 😢 sending to you a big cosmic hug ❤ for your heart wrenching void

Interesting that Xi said in his last visit to America that China would help the US to deal with the drug problem. It's not a Chinese drug, and China supplies the chemical to all countries. It's interesting America sees it a good policy not to blame the importing country but the supplier of one ingredient.

Instead of the authorities in the US panicking and taking everyone off their scripts they should have set up recovery programs for people wanting to come of the tablets or simply keep taking it. Opiates don't damage any internal organs. Its the lifestyle/ bad injecting technique and accidental over dose that gets you. But they didn't do that they paniced and caused all this mess 🙄

Consumption of drugs is also a grave crime, in Singapore there are no drugs due to death penalty. Chasing the providers and leaving the addicts unpunished is useless.

Telling people not to take drugs … most people know smoking isn’t good first you, being obese, taking no exercise etc - all bad. A few people listen but most don’t.

This is really SAD 😔!!!

Blaming China for your problems, again?

Imagine blaming another person or country for your addiction problems. 😢

May be the food too. Scary.

What goes around comes around Unfortunately!

Countries can bring drugs to the United States but they cant force the people to use it. They use it by choice. That's the biggest problem.

China used to be a major supplier of fentanyl, and the U.S. has credited Beijing for a 2019 crackdown that led to “a drastic reduction in seizures of fentanyl shipments.

Xi: 'It is working.....'

In terms of the blaming game, it has already been started. Sanctions have been levied on Chinese companies producing legitimate products used in the drug industry such as pills encapsulating machines, weighting scales, sealing equipment, and mixers. By the way, China is doing a legal business producing and exporting fentanyl precursors for medical use as do the like of India, Canada, Turkey, Germany, and of course, the USA.

Looking for scapegoat

Most of you making comments on here . Have not got a clue what you are talking about.

Reminds me of what Britian did to China, not so long ago!

Don't take them

darren stallcup is the top fentanyl journalist on the ground

5:12 after the party there is the hangover.

‘It’s China’ Trump’s favourite remark. Instead of blaming others, ban the drugs, ban firearms. Have strict control over it. Why America is not be able to do that.

Like.............U S. Citizens have never been acted directly upon by........own Gov.

Ridiculous

The Most Deadly Drug Crisis

Fentanyl was first synthesized by Paul Janssen a Belgian in 1959 and was approved for medical use in the United States in 1968. Fentanyl poses an exceptionally high overdose risk in humans, since the amount required to cause toxicity is unpredictable and was known in 1968. But apparently China are to blame, pull the other one!!!!

Learning from Jardine and British Hong Kong I guess.

Get real - why should China care less about US citizens who decide to take drugs - in fact, if you watch their reporting - they seem to enjoy seeing the breakdown of US society.

And of course not US is in charge. Protect the ducking borders

At 16:30 , here we have your typically Englishman covering for China as to appear " reasonable "

Pure bs

Nike, Apple and the NBA

There was nothing to feel sad about !

We could go to a flat tax with a large standard deduction for all entities with an alternative of 1/2 as a basic income. All money not retained for business purposes should be taxed over the standard deduction. This would be mostly paid by shutting down government programs which would now be redundant duplicate efforts. Catastrophic medical bills over 4 times the the standard deduction would be paid by the government.

It’s getting everywhere & after 17 in the pharmacy dispensary have seen how hard it is to get a legitimate prescription for this end of life pain relief. It’s only on the streets because of unlicensed labs making Molotov mixes to further depopulate our world. Atrocities everywhere we look 👀 pray 🙏 for us in unity & for times the tables changing. ❤💙🙏🌏🌍🌎💫

H R Giger predicted this years ago

Lol. Poor sys blam other.

Why get to the US? There are plenty of areas in UK same problem.

Terrible

Times is truly high on drugs 😂

What I found most incredible about this whole video, was the fact uncle Joe sniffy managed to string that whole sentence together! Amazing! 👏

Excellent Pod Cast Critically Serious societal & Economic problem for the USA Mexico must be earning hundreds of millions in foreign currency from this.

Why isn't China being sanctioned for this?

Bs.

Europeans seem to avoid methamphetamine and fentanyl.

Don’t do drugs kids😂

Wait, prince died from Drugs?

Yeah they are homeless but they can afford this habit.

President She uses the right pronoun.🗽🙋🇺🇸™

The solution is simple: decriminalization if not outright legalization, along with sensible regulation and providing adequate services like treatment on demand. Both Portugal and Switzerland have amply demonstrated the success of this approach. The United States tried banning a drug already, it's called alcohol. How'd that work out?

think the host comes across as overly naive ...especially for a journo

Difficult English had to stop.

You lot make me laugh. More fiction than in the complete Shakespeare.

I love when Times Radio tries to do empathy. 😂

It's an epidemic caused by neglect and a stubbon refusal to address social inequality

The accent is brutal

I don't know anyone using fentanyl.

They're on it because they want it. They want it because they like it. It's no good blaming China for America's addiction to drugs.

So maybe the Times should focus more on covering the U.S southern border. You seem to cover the Ukraine funding issue ad naseuam but not the REASONS why it isn't approved...the southern border in the U.S is a sieve.

Bad lifestyle choice ,can’t blame anyone other than yourself.

Someone please dub over the strange accent guy. Impossible to understand!

That Liverpudlian is a bit posh... couldn't The Times find a more common-as-muck presenter?
