Hello, friends! 👋 Have you heard about what’s happening between China and the United States?
The U.S. wants to add extra taxes called tariffs on things it buys from China. They say it’s because of a drug problem involving something called fentanyl.
What’s fentanyl?
Fentanyl is a very strong medicine that doctors use for pain. But if people use it the wrong way, it can be very dangerous.
China says it already has super strict rules against drugs like fentanyl. In fact, in 2019, China was the first country to ban all types of fentanyl! 🎉
Even though fentanyl isn’t a big problem in China, they made these rules to help other countries, including the U.S.
China thinks it’s unfair for the U.S. to blame them for the fentanyl issues. They believe the U.S. should focus on helping people in their own country who are using these drugs.
China wants to keep working together with the U.S. to stop dangerous drugs. They feel that adding tariffs won’t help and might even hurt the friendship between the two countries.
It’s important for countries to work together to solve problems like drug abuse. Let’s hope they can find a way! 🤝
