New Generation Cartel is the only cartel to have seen exponential growth during the COVID epidemic. Why? They're based on the West Coast (Pacific Ocean) and they control the ports. They've been able to nearly monopolize this end of China's Fentanyl exports.

Nothing moves into or out of China in serious bulk without the Chinese Government knowing about it. Tacitly they are behind these exports. This is yet another front on the modern battlefield that we as Americans are yet to fully recognize.

Sinaloa Cartel didn't have this advantage and had almost ZERO access to this distribution pipeline out of China. They actually had to begin smuggling fentanyl out of the US, put it into their products, and then smuggle it back in. This is costly, time consuming, and cumbersome.

This is nothing short of a proxy war that China as at the helm of and has successfully brought to our border, And the front is ever changing. New Generation Cartel has done so well since COVID that they are moving into El Paso, major Sinaloa and Juarez territory.

And expansion isn't just happening along the border. CJNG is operating everywhere from Birmingham, Alabama to Seattle, to New York, to Charleston, S.C. COVID has been a godsend for this front of the proxy war. And its made CJNG rich beyond measure.

This video, starting at 1:15 shows a CJNG Cartel convoy. The original video went viral some months ago. The transition into an overtly militarized force not just capable of, but looking for confrontation is fairly new to this conflict.

While overt action in the US is still limited, it is expanding along the border and the likelihood that it spills over more and more into the US is growing.

We're losing the culture war as our people become addicted, and we're losing the proxy war as China cheaply funds this endeavor to our great detriment. And to top it off, we're losing the economic war as Chinese banking apps allow this cartel money to be transferred and banked.

This $$ goes into the Chinese banking system, gets banked, and moved back to the Cartels as legitimate funds. At that point the US has a much harder time touching it. Most of the time we cant do anything about it. We're losing this proxy war on every front while China thrives.
