The challenge in international drug operations was not to get China to stop selling bricks to house builders to but get China to cooperate in stopping the sale of bricks to groups that only use bricks to throw through windows and at heads.
That’s tricky because if the US asks to stop the sale of precursors used for making medicines to an organization they name, it’s not always clear whether they are doing illegal sanctions or legitimate activities with the consent of the country in question.
China probably just wants to be a neutral supplier and stay out of it.
