The revelation by the Department of Justice regarding Chinese nationals and companies aiding Mexican drug cartels has sparked concerns, particularly in light of the potential designation of the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. President Donald Trump’s executive order signed on Jan. 20 aimed to add the Mexican drug cartels to the list of foreign terrorist organizations, highlighting the severity of the situation.

The prevalence of fentanyl, a deadly drug linked to the cartels, has been a major concern, with thousands of Americans losing their lives to overdoses each month. The total number of drug-related deaths in the United States is staggering, reaching about 120,000 annually. Without intervention, this number could surpass the casualties of World War II within a few years.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was tasked with developing the final list of groups to be designated as terrorist organizations. The State Department has reportedly compiled a tentative list of eight groups for inclusion on the formal terrorist organization list. Rubio emphasized the significant presence of drug cartels in Mexico, posing a national security threat to the United States.

In a U.S. court ruling in April 2023, four Chinese nationals were identified as collaborators with Mexican cartels in fentanyl production. These individuals were accused of supplying fentanyl precursors to the cartels in Mexico, sourced from their companies in China. The collaboration between Chinese entities and Mexican cartels underscores the global reach of the illicit drug trade.

Doug Livermore, a Special Operations veteran, highlighted the role of Chinese-based criminal organizations in enabling and supplying the Mexican cartels. He pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party’s strategy of “unrestricted warfare” includes using the narcotics trade to undermine strategic competitors like the United States. This partnership between Chinese entities and Mexican cartels poses a significant threat to national security.

In a significant development, U.S. Special Forces have initiated a training program for Mexican Marines to enhance their combat capabilities against the cartels. The training, focused on conventional and unconventional combat techniques, marks a milestone in bilateral cooperation to address the cartel threat. Reports of U.S. spy aircraft operating off the Mexican coast indicate advanced force operations in preparation for potential military action.

The process of formally designating the Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations is a crucial step towards authorizing military force against their leadership and infrastructure. The congressional passage of an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) would empower targeted action against the cartels and their collaborators. China’s involvement in fentanyl production for the cartels further complicates the situation, necessitating a comprehensive approach to combat the drug trade.

In conclusion, the complex nexus of Chinese involvement with Mexican drug cartels underscores the need for decisive action to address the escalating threat. Collaborative efforts between the U.S. and Mexico, bolstered by strategic military training and legal frameworks, are essential to combatting the cartels and safeguarding national security interests.
