I think the India border, Hong Kong, Taiwan, S. China Sea islands etc. are distractions and small potatoes when compared to being the #1 super power in the world (actually the only) The US, Russia and Europe are already done.The democrats definitely didn't do it--they just moved when Xi pulled the strings. The CCP thinks long term and once focused, they don't deviate.I think they released it exactly when they wanted to with the aid of China Joey. It accomplished exactly what they wanted it to accomplish. It took Trump down. Trashed the US economy and lowered the educational level of the country by one full year (that is a huge loss). Meanwhile the democrats choreographed the protests, impeachments and fraudulent election and voila', China has taken over top position on the world power chart and never fired a shot. And it ain't over yet.Chinese were developing and just made the mistake of releasing by accident instead of when they wanted to do it.
I don't think the Dems are smart enough to go to that length.
Now mucking with some elections I can believe.
If it did come from the lab, I think the accidental release theory is more believable. If they were going to use it strategically and intentionally it would have spread from somewhere else, and it would have been coupled with either an attempt to bomb Taiwan into submission, settle their border dispute with India, or move into the Spratly Islands with a sizable naval and occupation force.
I disagree on the Taiwan thing. China's hegemony desires are far more local than one would think. Middle Kingdom complex, where anything outside their ethnic borders is considered beneath them still runs deep in the Chinese leadership, communist or otherwise.
To them Taiwan is a great big thorn in their paw, and always will be.
