No fentanyl had been seized at Japan’s borders in the six years through 2024, Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said on Friday, after a media report alleged a Chinese group in Japan smuggled chemicals into the United States to make the synthetic drug.
Don’t need the /s… it’s probably true.

Kinda like China.
It’s not very honorable to hide a problem to look honorable.
