things can never be a secret for long; one is the pregnancy of a woman and the second, stupidity of humans. There is a third one about the origin of the Covid virus, China increasingly being suspected of having produced it in its Wuhan Lab. Fox News first exposed this, and now the US Intel is also closing in on the same theory.
The Chinese action is not limited to a negligent non-disclosure of the spread of the virus in time. They garnered much of the world’s PPEs and face masks. The Chinese further diverted the world attention from the lab, blaming the origin to the wet markets of Wuhan.
The Chinese government did not reveal either the rate of the Covid spread or the mortality rates. The WHO quickly refuted any doubts cast over Chinese involvement. The WHO also opposed the US plans to curb travel of American citizens to China. In the middle of a world catastrophe, the Chinese seem to have recently tested underground nuclear explosive devices, which though they deny vehemently.
I am going into the hypothesis of worst-case scenarios. Scenario one: The Chinese involvement and the spread could have been an internal revolution within the Communist Party of China to oust Xi, who has chosen himself to serve as the president for life. Contrary to the outside world’s ideas, there does exist an opposition to Xi within the party. Take the Hong Kong disturbances as an example.
Scenario two: The trade dispute with the US was taking its toll, with the manufacturing sector operating at 50 % capacity. The economic bubble was about to burst, and it was time for China to announce to the world its supremacy. The virus was ready, and a few thousand citizens could always be martyred for the cause. The antidotes in the form of vaccines or traditional Chinese medicines were ready. Many thousands of Chinese left Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus and lacs of infected-but-vaccinated Chinese left China and entered Europe, the UK and the US immediately after the Chinese New Year.
The Chinese infection curve flattened quickly, and the number of deaths suddenly ebbed, while the world suffered from 2 million infected and 150,000 dead. Despite the high number of Chinese returnees into many western countries, three lacs in Italy alone, no survey on the Covid dead Chinese have been done in any Western country.
Scenario three: The stocks tumbled in Europe and the US and businesses collapsed, as the Chinese investors converged on buyouts at a mere pittance.
Scenario four: The US intel confirms that the Covid is a Bio-attack and declares war on China. The team might include the US, UK, EU, Israel, India, Taiwan, Japan, S. Korea, Australia, Vietnam and New Zealand. Russia could team up with China, supported by Iran, N. Korea, Pakistan and Turkey. It will not be a bio-war but a bloody war decimating world communism and could end with the overthrow of Xi, much like Saddam Hussain and Gaddafi.
The above could be straight out of a storybook or could happen in the future. May peace reign on earth for all.
