“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Video translation is as follows:
The Chinese embassy in Mexico assured that what the United States calls fentanyl precursors are general chemicals. In a statement it stressed that according to international trade regulations the importer is responsible for preventing general chemicals from flowing into drug manufacturing channels.
They noted this after comments were published by U.S. officials speculating that the so-called precursor chemicals used by Mexican cartels to manufacture fentanyl come from China. It claims that the United States misrepresents the facts and repeatedly exposes old cases by irresponsibly criticizing the normal trade of the other relevant countries.
They use this as a pretext to accuse and impose sanctions on Chinese companies and citizens in order to misinform the public and place the blame on others.
