Ben Westhoff was the first Western journalist to visit labs in China, where its chemical precursors are made — though generally not the drug itself, which is illegal in China except for limited medical uses. Those chemical precursors are exported, and many end up in Mexico, where they are made into fentanyl and smuggled into...
