> No fentanyl had been seized at Japan's borders in the six years through 2024, Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said on Friday, after a media report alleged a Chinese group in Japan smuggled chemicals into the United States to make the synthetic drug.

That's probably indicative of widespread and effective corruption and quality of smuggling operations to prevent a single loss of product! /S

My gut tells me that the Fentanyl problem was created by the US government. I don't think anyone asked to have their cocaine laced with opiates. I feel like making drugs as lethal as the conservatives have always been lying about is part of project 2025.

-having no personal insight/knowledge of japan's drug scene, just my impressions-
Saying you've found *none* in six years, doesn't make me think there's none comming through; I immediately think you haven't been looking very hard.
Finding very little I could understand, but NONE? Na, you need to try harder.
