Well better change that. Export away!I think Fentanyl and other analogs aren't even legal in China for export anymore, only the precursors can be exported.
Pak relation with Iran is OK, while relation with Saudis are good.

The US is India's biggest trading partner, I wonder how would the Americans take this.
Perhaps time for China to set up for trade settlements with India in Yuan. China imports from India far less than India imports from China. Let the Indians understand their place in the world order of industrial economies. China could jack up the prices of their exports going to India in USD, and INR settlement.

U.S., Israel sign joint pledge to deny Iran nuclear weaponry
JERUSALEM, July 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid signed a joint pledge on Thursday to deny Iran nuclear arms, a show of unity by allies long divided over diplomacy with Tehran.
