Editor's note: CGTN's First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events.

Have you seen the devil donning a white coat? Have you heard of a tiny pharmacy serving just 400 people, handing out nine million pills in two years? Or a drug ad barging into your living room, right after SpongeBob, turning cartoons into a gateway for addiction? This isn't a conspiracy. This isn't a metaphor. This is America's reality: A culture where profit poisons people and Americans got Americans hooked. Want to see how it's done? Click. Watch. Share. Unmask the system, before it unmakes everyone.
