The head of the US Department of Commerce answered a reporter's question on the US Treasury's sanctions on Chinese entities and individuals on the grounds of selling equipment involving fentanyl. A reporter asked: recently, the US Treasury announced sanctions against seven Chinese entities and six individuals on the grounds that the sales of tablet machines, moulds and other equipment were involved in fentanyl. What is the comment of the Ministry of Commerce? A: China has always been strict in drug control and has tried its best to help the US deal with the fentanyl issue in a humanitarian spirit. The US side ignored the facts and imposed sanctions on Chinese entities and individuals on the grounds that the so-called tablet machines and mold equipment sold to the United States and Mexico could be used to make fentanyl, in an attempt to confuse the public, mislead the public, and transfer responsibility for poor governance. The Chinese side firmly opposes this and will firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and individuals.
