China screwed the pooch and now is pivoting to try to turn this into a PR campaign for themselves.
If anything this entire thing has exposed how truly insane Xi and his bunch really are....
Chinese are promoting the idea that Americans are source of initial Wuhan outbreak and they're all over social media with it.
Lijian Zhao Foreign Ministry spokesman. His Twitter.

He tweeted out that it was the United States military that brought the disease to China. As you can see, he republished the March 11th congressional hearing of Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, who said some influenza deaths in the U.S. were later identified as cases of COVID-19. However in the clip, Redfield doesn’t mention when those people died or over what time period, but Zhao used his remarks to claim that the coronavirus did not originate in Wuhan. He, of course, offered no evidence to substantiate the claim.
Right after his tweet, the conspiracy theory was republished by Chinese state media, including in the nationally broadcasted CCTV and in the Global Times. Few days later, China Xinhua News tweet aimed at US “Racism is not the right tool to cover your own incompetence.”

China is trying to blame us, and while they blocked the export of medical supplies, they're playing good guys by "donating" those same supplies around the world.
There is an active PR misinformation campaign on this. They lost standing and are playing damage control there and 'helping' where they can, as you indicate.
They're like the mob or cartels handing out turkeys for Christmas or some silly crap. Yeah we know your irresponsibility in covering this up early and literally seeding the world with this shit is killing tens of thousands and very possibly in the millions before this is over but, hey, thanks for the gloves.
How anyone takes a single thing they say seriously is beyond me...
