Mr. MIKE GARCIA of California (for himself, Mr. SMITH of New Jersey, Mrs. 
HINSON, Mr. MCCORMICK, Mr. WILLIAMS of New York, Mrs. BICE, and 
Mr. MILLS) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Condemning the Chinese Communist Party for its role in 
the fentanyl crisis and urging the Biden administration 
to take certain actions to combat the flow of fentanyl 
precursors from China to North America. 
Whereas the Drug Enforcement Agency estimated that ap-
proximately 75,000 Americans died from synthetic 
opioids such as fentanyl in 2022, many of which were 
poisoning deaths from fentanyl mixed with counterfeit il-
licit drugs; 
Whereas, despite adding fentanyl to its list of controlled 
drugs, the Chinese Communist Party has refused to miti-
gate the production of fentanyl precursors coming from

certain provinces within the People’s Republic of China, 
such as the Hebei Province; 
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party officially suspended 
all counternarcotics and law enforcement cooperation 
with the United States since August 2022; 
Whereas the Chinese Communist Party has refused to inves-
tigate and punish individuals sanctioned by the United 
States Government for connections to fentanyl trafficking 
activities; 
Whereas Chinese cartels such as the Zheng Cartel export 
fentanyl precursors to Mexican cartels such as the Jalisco 
and Sinaloa cartels, which then traffic fentanyl into the 
United States; and 
Whereas the People’s Republic of China has made it their 
ambition to replace the United States as a global leader, 
and would stand to benefit from America’s weakening 
through hundreds of thousands of our citizens dying from 
fentanyl poisonings: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns the Chinese Communist Party for 
its role in prolonging the American fentanyl crisis 
through its inaction in holding the Chinese pro-
ducers of fentanyl precursors accountable; 
(2) calls on the Biden administration to impose 
additional sanctions and charge Chinese entities 
found responsible for supplying fentanyl precursors 
to Chinese cartels;
