According to U.S. officials, a conspiratorial money laundering arrangement between China and Mexican drug cartels has developed so intricately that it's become nearly impossible for Homeland Security to pinpoint the funding. The closelipped partnership is reportedly saving the Mexican drug cartels hundreds of millions of dollars with innovative ways of funneling money far less risky than transporting cash back and forth across the U.S. border. The theory is based on a connection that dates back several years, as drug traffickers in China have remained a crucial source of a key ingredient used by the Sinaloa Cartel and Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CNJG) to manufacture fentanyl and methamphetamine.
“These new networks coming out of the People’s Republic of China started charging 1%, at the lowest rate,” stated a retired Homeland Security special agent named Walter Rivera.
Congresswoman Ashley Hinton (R-Iowa) recently shared her thoughts on the international matter by outlining how the alleged actions of the Communist Chinese Party are lining the pockets of Mexican Cartels, making them far more formidable adversaries in the eyes of Homeland Security.
“[The Cartels are] flush with cash, they’re taking all that additional money and investing it in technology for their organizations,” said Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa. “In some cases, they are outmanning, outgunning our (Customs and Border Protection) agents.”
Ultimately, Hinton, who also works with the House Select Committee on China, concluded that based on her knowledge of the situation, the Chinese government is either directly involved in assisting the financial efforts of Mexican drug cartels or they are fully aware of the instances.
