Internally CCP is having some real $$$ and social issues. But the CCP control over all media is so effective that the world still does not know even the true C-19/21 numbers.

#4 Why hurry, a little press manipulation and Central Committee focus and a guilty American public will rush to provide food/economic aid because of the sad pictures and stories on the news. Poof, much of the problem solved and you further impoverish the main enemy.

#6 Cash in? Anyone who thinks Afghanistan is a gold mine has been consuming too much of the country's major export. The place is a wasteland, a status it gained ever since Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape of Good Hope, thereby making the brigand-infested land trading route between Europe and the Orient obsolete.
