Exactly. We're a bunch of yahoos compared to a long Chinese history. They intend to win this game, while we're fighting each other instead of presenting a united determination to protect America.

Why? The U.S. had nothing to do with the opium wars.

DCUM is awesome: two pages on how fentanyl is the product of Chinese evils. Nothing at all about how the economics of fentanyl, the cheap synthesis of cheap chemicals, is just market forces in action, the same forces that our ruling class has treated for decades as indistinguishable from virtue.

Beating the fentanyl epidemic will take challenging our assumptions, not dropping more anti-Chinese racism. Or at the very least, not fooling ourselves about our ability to micromanage things in China. Maybe we need to focus on better (micro)management domestically???

Of course it's racism! What was I thinking?

Agree! How can we join together within our own country to stop this? It’s been said already that our government is already struggling within itself, so it’s going to be up to us to do something and speak up. But what message do we send? How can we as citizens help manage up here at home? Can we advocate for more tariffs on Chinese produced goods until they stop producing fentanyl for exportation? Can we request more inspections on items coming into our country? These may or may not be good ideas but what ideas (if any) can we rally around to truly make a change in this area?

The only real solution is to fix the demand side somehow. How do we get Americans, especially young Americans, to stop demanding fentanyl and other dangerous drugs?

According to the other snowflake thread, perhaps stop indoctrinating students into depressed snowflakes who are shamed into oblivion because of their so-called whiteness.

FBI says Chinese hackers preparing to attack US infrastructure

Nashville, Tennessee, April 18 (Reuters) - Chinese government-linked hackers have burrowed into U.S. critical infrastructure and are waiting "for just the right moment to deal a devastating blow," FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Thursday.

An ongoing Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has successfully gained access to numerous American companies in telecommunications, energy, water and other critical sectors, with 23 pipeline operators targeted, Wray said in a speech at Vanderbilt University.

China is developing the "ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing," Wray said at the 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats. "Its plan is to land low blows against civilian infrastructure to try to induce panic."

Wray said it was difficult to determine the intent of this cyber pre-positioning which was aligned with China's broader intent to deter the U.S. from defending Taiwan.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control. Taiwan strongly objects to China's sovereignty claims and says only the island's people can decide their future.

I haven’t seen a lot of press on this. How are our lawmakers putting pressure on china to stop this? So many people have died and so many families have been impacted and yet nothing is being done!

Now add this to the Ayran (ie white nationalists) being busted for Fentanyl distribution and border crossings.

Yes, it is China and the right wingers. There is a reason the GOP doesn't want the border bill to pass.

You neglected to mention the Mexican cartels and their part in this. But nice try, as usual, pinning it on GOP.

The GOP blocked the border bill that would curtail asylum claims and border crossings. The GOP is the problem!

No one is shaming white people. Talking about the history of slavery or colonialism isn’t shaming white people. White people today have zero control or responsibility for the past. They do have a responsibility for today. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and looking for grievances where they don’t exist.

President Biden revoked "Remain in Mexico" and a dozen other EO's. The DNC is the problem!

Right. Biden was waiting on the BIPARTISAN legislation on immigration but your boy Trump doesn’t want problems to be solved while Biden’s in office.
