This was intended to be used on Taiwan and was engineered to incapacitate, rather than kill. The Chinese don’t want to kill everyone on the island, not do they want to bomb it back to the 19th century.... Both would be “bad optics” on the world stage and counterproductive to their goals.
They were working on something that could be quietly released in Taiwan, and once enough were too sick to put up a fight they could use their airliners to fly troops in and take over with hardly any shots being fired.
