I think you are over analyzing this episode. You could be right but I’m betting against it.
What Xi desperately needed was to hide the fact that China was Ground Zero for the virus. So the WHO delays, the virus spreads to the U.S. and Europe and then everywhere and muddies the water on the original source.
The delay helped him try to do that. But it failed. Very naive of Xi to think he could pull this off. To me that speaks to his desperation. Not everything is about Trump.
