在美国，每5分钟就有一个人死于药物过量，而药物过量死亡的第一大原因是滥用合成阿片类药物——主要是芬太尼。芬太尼是什么？它是如何致人死亡的？谁该为它的滥用负责？CGTN推出专题片《破局芬太尼》，独家采访到美国禁毒署国际行动组前负责人迈克·维吉尔及美国国内研究阿片类药物危机方面的顶尖专家之一安德鲁·克洛尼，指出美国国内的芬太尼滥用是造成美国阿片类药物滥用危机的主要原因。然而，面对美国国内的阿片类药物滥用危机，美国却甩锅中国，认为中国是美国芬太尼类非法药物滥用的主要来源之一，面对这一不实指责，专题片《破局芬太尼》以美国公民滥用芬太尼的鲜活案例、专家分析及数据图表深入浅出地一一驳斥，同时阐明中国政府历来秉承厉行禁毒的政策，对芬太尼类物质在生产、流通方面严格管控；在打击毒品犯罪问题上，中国与美国积极合作，联合成功破获“王凤玺走私芬太尼”案件，表明中国以负责任大国的态度，认真履行国际禁毒义务，积极参与全球毒品问题治理。

 

　　One American dies from a drug overdose every five minutes. And the No. 1 cause of these overdose deaths is synthetic opioids – principally fentanyl. What is fentanyl? How does it kill? And who is to blame for its proliferation? In this program, CGTN talks exclusively with Mike Virgil, the former chief of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and Doctor Andrew Kolodny, one of the U.S.' leading experts on opioid abuse. They say the fentanyl crisis in the United States is demand-driven by both the users themselves and the drug companies. Yet the U.S. authorities, instead of looking for the cause of the crisis closer to home, have chosen to blame China, accusing it of being a source of opioids. In China, by contrast, the government has consistently adhered to a rigid drug control policy, enforcing strict regulations over the production and circulation of fentanyl substances. In combating drug crime, China has cooperated closely with the United States. Evidence of this is the Wang Fengxi case, in which China took the lead by arresting and sentencing a criminal gang responsible for trafficking fentanyl, which led to further arrests in the U.S. Across the globe, many countries are facing a major drug problem. Experience has shown that the best solutions are found when the world comes together to tackle the issue.
