It's real in the sense that there is fent on the streets and being mixed with other drugs.
The whole China smuggling it through Mexico is silly nonsense. Even if that's the exact process it takes to get to the US black market, it's not some evil ploy from China, rather that's just the most economic method for the drug business.
I didn't believe the China/cartel bit for a min honestly. That reads like someone throwing random conspiracy theories against the wall and seeing what sticks.
Yeah, fent is a synthetic opioid, typically manufactured for medical use. Cartels traffic in plant derivatives, which only require land rather than... you know, a whole pharmaceutical laboratory. I think it's far more likely to be distributed by some official manufacturer with a McKinsy consultant.
