OFAC designated the China-based Zheng Drug Trafficking Organization ("Zheng DTO") and Chinese nationals Zheng Fujing and Yan Xiaobing, identifying them as "significant foreign narcotics traffickers[s]" under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act. OFAC also designated Chinese national Zheng Guanghua for his involvement with the Zheng DTO, and the Chinese entity Qinsheng Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. because of Zheng Fujing's ownership of the business.

According to OFAC, Zheng Fujing and Yan Xiaobing shipped hundreds of packages of synthetic opioids to the United States using commercial mail carriers. In connection with its action against Zheng and Yan, OFAC identified bitcoin addresses associated with these two individuals "to maximize disruption of their financial dealings."
