Earlier this year, Wang and Mayorkas, along with other senior U.S. and Chinese officials, met to address law enforcement concerns, including the illegal flow of synthetic drugs like fentanyl. Following these discussions, the two countries established a joint counter-narcotics working group aimed at curbing the spread of fentanyl.

The U.S. has accused China of subsidizing the production of illicit fentanyl precursors, contributing to the opioid crisis in the United States. In response, China’s embassy in Washington asserted that China is committed to cooperating with U.S. authorities on drug control. The embassy highlighted ongoing special campaigns to regulate fentanyl and its precursor chemicals and to crack down on illegal smuggling, manufacturing, and trafficking activities.

The dialogue between Wang and Mayorkas underscores the continued efforts of both nations to address shared challenges in law enforcement and to enhance bilateral cooperation in tackling critical issues such as drug trafficking and transnational crime.
