Hard to imagine China coming out on top of this. They rely on the international trade that's pulling away from them. They have citizens intentionally spreading the virus as an act of rebellion, trying to stress the system to hurt the Communist Party. Their information suppression is revealed left and right, the complicity of the lab, and suspicion about the deaths of whistleblowers. It's an embarrassment.
I think since the chinese communists are fully evil gangsters who care more about their own money and power than human life, they would be more than happy to kill a hundred thousand or more regular chinese people if they were sure it would result in Trump losing 2020. It is admittedly a stretch, but this is clown world after all.
You could have made a similar logical argument about liddle adam shcitt before the impeachment thing over the Ukraine call - "they won't impeach, since there's obviously nothing illegal about the call with Ukraine's president, it would only hurt their chances in 2020. They wouldn't do it since it will obviously help Trump".
Now I know those two things aren't the same at all. I'm not saying releasing a bioweapon on your own people to "Get drumpf" is in the same ballpark as filing bogus impeachment articles to "get drumf" but I'm saying the logic of "they wouldn't do something that will overall hurt them in the end" doesn't always apply when the players are irrational or operating on wrong assumptions. And I think we could both agree that the chinese communists and the adam schitts are both operating on wrong assumptions.... at the very least.
