The U.S.-China trade war continues to intensify, with fentanyl emerging as a key point of leverage. As President Trump escalates U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, China has responded by suspending cooperation on combating fentanyl. This growing crisis has led to accusations from U.S. leaders such as Senator Marco Rubio, who claims China is deliberately allowing fentanyl to flow into the United States. We explore China’s use of fentanyl as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations, its impact on U.S. national security, and how Taiwan is caught in the middle of the U.S.-China standoff. What role will fentanyl play in shaping the future of U.S.-China relations and Taiwan’s diplomacy? (Filmed on April.14)
