The Chinese are not our friends. It’s my belief that the greatest amount of fentanyl is made in China. https://www.pharmacytimes.com/publications/issue/2018/august2018/illegally-produced-fentanyl-a-growing-cause-of-synthetic-opioid-deaths This site says smaller amounts of higher-purity fentanyl originate in China. Well, OK. Some of it gets to Mexico where it is cut, whereupon it becomes lower potency;
Anyone who thinks the Chinese give a s**t about US fentanyl deaths any more than some scumbag Mexican drug lord is delusional.

I believe it is a form of warfare on the part of the Chinese, and POTUS hinted to that in one of his public addresses regarding drugs. Trump said, “It’s almost like warfare.” I think that was as direct as he wanted to be. A raid (Nebraska) seized enough Fentanyl to kill 26 million people last May (one or two mg is fatal).

And in Pickering, Canada, located on the waterfront across Lake Ontario from New York, carfentanyl
was seized in a quantity capable of killing over a billion people. Doubt it was intended for the Canadians.
“Carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl. According to the AG of New Jersey, 45 kilograms of fentanyl is enough to kill 18 million people. A similar amount of carfentanil, at 100 times the potency of fentanyl, is enough to kill 100 times that number – which is somewhat less than 1.8 billion people, assuming it is of the same purity. And even if it is of a lesser purity, it is still enough to kill tens of millions of people. “
The man arrested in possession of this drug also had 33 guns and magazines for them.
War by any other name is still war. China has a Swine Plague problem and I think they want the US to have that problem too.
