After a monthslong investigation, the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and Chinese Communist Party uncovered that China is actively subsidizing the sale of fentanyl precursors to Mexico. With 80,000–100,000 American citizens dying of fentanyl overdoses each year, the administration needs to comprehensively disrupt the finances and operations of Mexico’s drug cartels and their suppliers, launderers, and partners in crime: the Chinese Communists.

David Asher and Raymond Donovan, former director of operations of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and a strategic law enforcement expert, will discuss how America should hold the perpetrators accountable by strategically targeting them from the top down.
