        Would it be a surprise? Remember the opium wars, what it did to their people? Payback maybe? Just a thought.

        Chinese companies and individuals are not the same thing as the Government of China. Sure, there are some shitty things Chinese companies and citizens do but their individual actions do not warrant a blanket criticism of China.

        I think blame won't do anything it is a human tragedy these drugs are only a problem because they are available for sale to the public not through medical professionals solve this and the dynamic will change it's not who's selling it's who's buying is the problem.
