China had a dangerous spreading problem. It was no longer able to do a Tiananmen square solution. In 1989 the world had no leverage. But today the world could hurt them bad by killing their economy.
They had a solution; releasing the virus. Coronavirus was very spreadable, but not all that deadly. But it gave them the solution to the riots. It allowed them to utterly lock people down hard. And they did. They killed the protests.
And then add in getting rid of Trump, and ending sanctions and tariffs.
They claim 5000 dead. To achieve what they did? That is nothing to a government that has murdered 65 million.
They happily launched it on their own people.

“But it gave them (Chinese leaders) the solution to the riots. It allowed them to utterly lock people down hard. And they did. They killed the protests.”
Yes. I remember the riots building.
