Summary
A Bellingcat investigation found that Chinese suppliers are behind a flood of online ads selling nitazenes, synthetic opioids up to 40 times stronger than fentanyl.
These drugs, linked to hundreds of deaths in Europe and North America, are marketed openly on platforms like LinkedIn and X, often by companies using deceptive tactics.
Despite recent Chinese bans on some nitazenes, new variants continue emerging.
Experts warn the decline of heroin production and fentanyl restrictions could fuel a worsening nitazene crisis worldwide.

Holy shit, people are selling this shit on Linkedin?
Sure, why not? It’s not illegal.
Big pharma people are on linkedIn. This isn’t worse.
If the ads are deadly for nitazenes, that should help, right? Hopefully they help prevent the nitazenes from getting to Europe.
Oh how the tables have turned. Lol.
Oops, opium wars backfired a bit didn’t it?
