> The Chinese are doing the same thing the Brits did to them: getting an entire country addicted to opiates. No, that's not actually happening at all in fact, either in the US or Canada. Most of what you're seeing re China is fentanyl - because it's extraordinarily potent - killing a lot of people that would otherwise not be overdosing from heroin at anywhere near the same rate. Their culpability in the spread of opioid use and addiction is minimal, it's primarily the increase in overdose deaths that China's fentanyl is contributing to. US doctors and some specific pharma companies have the vast majority of responsibility when it comes to the opioid addiction and abuse increases we've seen in the US over the last decade.
