China to add fentanyl-related substances to controlled narcotics list
01 April, 2019
China will add fentanyl-related substances to a supplementary list of controlled narcotic drugs from May 1, the government said on Monday (Apr 1).
The statement was jointly issued by the Ministry of Public Security, the National Health commission and National Medical Products Administration.
US Trade Representative Lighthizer said in March he would prefer to include China's commitments to curb fentanyl in any trade agreement.
A senior China diplomat said in December that China and the United States had agreed to action in the control of narcotics including fentanyl.
