  Not sure why your comment got downvoted. There were several articles before COVID that covered a few low-profile drug lords from China that were smuggling fentanyl in the US. EDIT: Found the specific article I was thinking about: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-05-22/deadly-chinese-fentanyl-is-creating-a-new-era-of-drug-kingpins https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-05-22/deadly-ch...

    It's been going on since at least 2010

      It was worse before America threatens to cut off China’s preferential mail parcel treatment. They used to just drop it off in the mail directly to the USA, now they have to go through Mexico at least.

        Yep. Used to be really easy to buy hundreds of grams to kilos of fentanyl straight from China. There were some problems with cross contamination/mislabeling/wrong shipment that caused some unintentional ODs. Can probably find posts about it on old Bluelight threads
