#4 I wonder if China would be so audacious/evil as to create a deadly virus, infict it their own population for the purpose of thinning out the herd to deal with growing economic problems? In other words population control.

#5 between the trade conflict and the virus a lot of companies will be working on 2nd sourcing and this will hurt China

however, one relatively easy thing China could do (except for the cultural resistance) would be to ban the kind of live animal markets they currently have

another easy thing to do (except for the ego of the leadership) is to reduce the high level of govt revenue going to the military
