Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun

At the regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on October 29, a reporter raised a question regarding the possible discussion of the so-called "fentanyl-related tariffs" during the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at Wednesday's press conference that China's position on this issue is consistent and clear. China is the most resolute in combating drugs, with the most thorough policies and the best record. It is also one of the countries with the most extensive list of controlled substances and the strictest regulatory measures in the world, he added.

Guo said that China sympathizes with the American people regarding the fentanyl crisis they are facing, and China has provided assistance in this regard and achieved positive results, and remains open to continuing cooperation with the US. He emphasized that the US should take concrete actions to create the necessary conditions for bilateral cooperation.
