The idea of a lab leak could either mean that legitimate research was happening on this virus and it got accidentally leaked, or that the virus was being prepared as a bio-weapon and was intentionally or unintentionally released. The reason I think those scientists disavowed the lab leak theory initially was to avoid confusion between whether COVID-19 was an intentional bio-attack by China as many believed then and was pushed by Trump. |

Why? Xi and the top leadership of the CCP/PLA are not a race, they're an oligarchy, maybe monarchy.
They receive many benefits from a pandemic, such as cover to crack down on rebellion in Hong Kong, a counter to Western propaganda for open societies, an excuse for economic recession.
I've read that the PLA believes that plagues such as SARS and Swine Flu are actually US bioweapons. That would make COVID19 merely symmetrical retaliation. The PLA also believes the USA is fomenting dissent and rebellion in China's territory to divide her. This is casus belli.
The US oligarchy cynically cornered Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor and ultimately nuked two Japanese cities while Japan tried to surrender. The USA also firebombed Dresden, a refugee city. Are these facts racist?
If you insist that the idea of China making an unrestricted biowarfare attack is so unprovoked and irrational that the mere thought is motivated purely by racial bigotry, then guess what? If it turns out the PLA really is guilty, you have condemned China as the wholly evil side. Shall we declare a second Pearl Harbor and demand unconditional surrender?
I certainly won't enlist for that war. I suspect China would happily leave the USA alone if the USA returned the favor. The Pacific is wide and deep.
