It’s a disgraceful reality we’re living in, folks. China and the United States are embroiled in an underhanded shadow war, with shocking revelations coming to light about the role of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel and Chinese nationals in America’s escalating overdose crisis. Let’s delve into the horrifying details of this insidious plot.
The treacherous alliance between Beijing and the Sinaloa Cartel was exposed when federal prosecutors blew the lid off a California-based money laundering operation. Affluent Chinese individuals were implicated in a scheme to launder the cartel’s drug money by exchanging currency. While prosecutors naively claimed there was no proof these Chinese nationals knew they were washing drug money, a seasoned former federal agent disputed this claim, citing China’s intrusive surveillance of its citizens.
Michael Brown, an ex-DEA special agent and current global director for counternarcotics technology at Rigaku Analytical Devices, voiced his concerns to The Washington Times. He accused Beijing of silently endorsing this illicit relationship as it serves their purpose of destabilizing America from within. “The Chinese are essentially fanning the flames to keep America hooked… keep them divided,” Brown stated. In his view, this is a calculated move in China’s broader strategy to undermine American society.
China’s covert backing of the Sinaloa Cartel is perceived as one of its “nonaggressive attacks” on U.S., which also include espionage on military bases, theft of intellectual property, and instigating cyberattacks. These actions are designed to chip away at U.S. sovereignty, but their involvement in the fentanyl trade has been particularly devastating. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times more potent than heroin, has been a major contributor to overdose deaths in the U.S., especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data paints a grim picture. Drug overdoses skyrocketed from approximately 75,000 per year in spring 2020 to over 100,000 per year by summer 2021. The Biden administration’s lax border policies have been slammed for facilitating the influx of drugs into our country. U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized a staggering 27,000 pounds of fentanyl in fiscal 2023, dwarfing the totals of the previous two years.
The Sinaloa Cartel procures chemicals needed for producing fentanyl from China, with the Chinese government allegedly providing tax incentives to companies that export these lethal substances. A congressional report accused the Chinese Communist Party of endorsing the production and export of these dangerous chemicals.
Federal prosecutors revealed that a Los Angeles-based money laundering ring handled over $50 million in cartel cash. This money was then used to purchase precursor chemicals from Chinese firms. These chemicals were shipped to Mexico where the cartel utilized them to manufacture more fentanyl and methamphetamine, bolstering their drug empire.
This scheme involved evading China’s regulations on foreign investments, which restrict citizens from investing more than $50,000 annually overseas. Brokers assisted Chinese nationals in investing large amounts of money, raising red flags about their activities.
Between 2019 and 2023, two dozen individuals were charged in connection with this money laundering operation. Brown underscored the importance of collaboration between agencies like the IRS and Treasury Department to trace and halt these illegal cash flows, criticizing the tendency of law enforcement agencies to work independently, which hampers effective collaboration.

While federal authorities struggle to contain the fentanyl crisis, local communities are reeling from its devastating impact. The Sinaloa Cartel has expanded its reach to less populated states like Montana and the Dakotas, where the demand for pills can generate massive profits. Chip White, head of drug enforcement for the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation in North Dakota, shed light on how pills that cost a few dollars can fetch $80 to $100 each.
The DEA reported that almost all fentanyl in the U.S. originates from the Sinaloa Cartel or its rival, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
