The Chinese government said that the United States was responsible for fixing the fentanyl crisis within its borders.
“Intimidation does not scare us. Intimidation does not work in us. Pressing, coercion or threats are not the correct way to deal with China. Anyone who uses maximum pressure on China is choosing the wrong guy and calculating badly, ”said a statement from a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
