American elites are so committed to full spectrum confrontation and competition with China that they won’t even allow China to outdo them when it comes to how much damage they can do to America.
As an additional plus, when China does win Cold War 2.0, Americans can make a stronger claim to the idea that China didn’t beat America, but that rather it was America that beat itself.

"Concern in India as Pakistan, Bangladesh restore sea ties
Such direct maritime links between India’s eastern and western neighbours have the potential to create instability in the northeastern states because of their proximity to Bangladesh’s southeastern coast"
"A cargo vessel from Karachi docked at Chittagong on Wednesday, marking the first-ever direct maritime contact between Pakistan and Bangladesh since the Liberation War of 1971 but stirring up ripples of worry in the Indian security establishment." [.....]
"The Indian establishment has been overtly cautious about the sea channels connecting the Chittagong and Mongla ports since then and used its relationship with Hasina to keep the Chinese away from the two ports.
Last year, India scored a strategic win over China by securing the operating rights to a terminal at Mongla port.... But now, Pakistan has gained access to Chittagong port. The sea channels to the two ports will now allow Pakistani vessels. The development will surely have an impact on the region’s geopolitics as Myanmar is also so close to Chittagong,” said a source in India’s security establishment."[....]

It always perplexed me why this whole affair was brushed under the carpet. Normally, if the US had even the faintest evidence the virus was engineered, it'd run the news cycle for years and wouldn't let up on the pressure. Indeed, this was what happened for a while in the beginning, but then it felt like mainstream media got the signal from the government to close down the discourse, and the Biden people just kind of shut up about it.
Now it's more clear. During their investigation they discovered the depth of US involvement and that it was essentially an US initiative. It's increasingly obvious the Chinese "bat lady" was just a collaborator paid by the Americans to conduct the research outside the US so they could avoid scrutiny. She didn't pursue this out of her own ideas, much less the Chinese government's - she was just the Americans' tool.
So they shut the whole narrative down to try & wash their hands of it, because if it ever got out that US institutions essentially used a Chinese proxy to do the research that created COVID, despite knowing of the dangers, they'd get the larger share of the blame.
@coolgod I just finished watching this video presentation from a Chinese-American professor on the Sino-Russia current geopolitical dynamics which is ahistorical normal in normative terms. Professor Yu Bin also mentioned the Westphalian notion look on state to state relationship that may have produced less RELIGIOUS WARS but not necessarily lessen the interstate conflicts unlike that of the Eastern CONFUCIAN model that China supposedly operated with.
I am seeing what you have mentioned that it does seem the current leadership in China is eager to promote Confucianism as it's soft power onto the world scene with great intent.
