China itself doesn't have fentanyl issue to start with. Nor other Asian countries.

Why is US singled out here? Can't US just ban it?

The US has a porous border. You can't stop drugs from crossing if you can't stop people from crossing.

Can't be any more porous than borders in Asia.

China is right next to a major drug smuggling region. The jungles and mountains southwest of the country aren't exactly easy places to build border fences.
