My current opinion:
unless they find some damn good evidence, it's not a conversation worth having.
I think that people are really hungry for a smoking gun, and whether or not there's one in China, the media salivation over it is.. troubling at best.
Like--unpacking discussions that people had in February 2020, based on imperfect information, is not going to go anywhere cool.
If there was better evidence, we'd have heard it--so far, these articles all pump up correlation and conjecture, and an occasional appeal to authority. It's a weak pretense for an international debacle. All that's happening right now is people going "IF china was behind this, WE'LL BE SO MAD"...
Yeah, and if the USA found WMDs in Iraq, it would have been SO MAD....
