Exactly!
It's like saying the EU is poisoning the US because there are things we don't ban but they do. It's up to us to make that determination and stop the importation. They like raw cheese, that's great, we prefer to avoid the low chance of food poisoning. But that goes for lots of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Each economic zone or country makes its own determination.
That's what national standards and regulations are for. If the countries don't care to even have laws to protect their citizens, then the blame is greatly on them.
But, instead of making hay with those governments, it's more attractive to say the EU is to blame. No, go protest those countries --that's where they should make hay, but it's probably not as sexy and they'd probably be run out.

- kwhitefoot 3y agoI'm pretty sure that the US tries to control entry of drugs like fentanyl. They would be more successful if China clamped down on the exports.
- mc32 3y agoOk so we should be up in arms about them manufacturing these drugs, is that correct, given they directly result in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans yearly? I’ll hang around for the author to take up the cause.
