The Chinese communist regime announced new controls for two fentanyl precursors on Friday, following a trade agreement between China and the United States.

From July 20, two chemicals, 4-piperidone and 1-boc-4-piperidone, will be added to the regime’s list of controlled substances, according to a joint statement by six departments, including the National Health Commission, General Administration of Customs, the National Medical Products Administration, and the Ministries of Public Security, Commerce, and Emergency Management.
