The United States and China are set to hold high-level talks on drug cooperation, following breakthroughs in bilateral work that led to a joint operation against a major money laundering scheme related to drugs. The US Justice Department recently indicted individuals involved in a drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy spanning Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel and a Chinese underground bank in Los Angeles, amounting to over $50 million. The cooperation aims at addressing issues such as the illicit funding of fentanyl production and controlling related chemicals. Despite tensions on various fronts between the two nations, efforts to combat drug-related crimes are ongoing, with a focus on joint investigations and a commitment to supporting each other in areas like material control, intelligence sharing, law enforcement, and combating transnational crimes.
