It certainly looks like a perfect storm of circumstances.
The question now is, has all of that been man-made?
We know that the trade-war has been man-made.
We know the Hong Kong protest has been man-made with the help of outside forces.
We know the border confrontation with India has been man-made when China was too busy and under pressured to handle all these troubles and had no reason to want to start another one.
Now, was it just a coincidence, or was it just a continuation of it having been man-made considering that the virus outbreak in Wuhan happened just as the whole of China was to embark on the biggest human migration in the world just before the beginning of the Lunar New Year festival? Just imagine the virus outbreak was not detected in Wuhan, and the yearly world's biggest migration in China had gone on as usual. The disastrous outcome from it would have been unimaginable.
The CIA took out Ray Dalio's son last week too, in an "unintended acceleration" event in which his car mysteriously burst into fiery flames after crashing into a Verizon 5G store at high speed in a parking lot...
Many folks in the intel and defence communitities of Amerikkka including high ranking US general publicly expressed extreme displeasure with Dalio recently, even on twitter to warn him
Dalio was previously advised to change the title of his upcoming book which was generally positive on China and critical of America, it was set to release this fall but now postponed and delayed to at least next year...
Between this and the Zappos guy, and the Chinese producer set to make The Three Body Problem film its clear Amerikkka is systematically purging all prominent Chinese Americans and prominent figures with Pro-China views (Ray Dalio)
At this rate I might be next
Case in point: just weeks after the inking of the deal, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross remarked on the “bright side” of news of an unknown coronavirus strain cluster in Wuhan—the outbreak could “help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America.”

I always in the belief that there are no coincidences in geo politics
Just as China and us in the middle of a trade war that has morphed into cold war all of sudden a virus appeared that exposed the weaknesses and severely damaged the economies of China main enemies europe and the us (if you also counted the brits which is beyond hopeless)
And now China is expected to surpass the us as the largest economy in the world earlier than expected
meanwhile eu and the us is in the weakest state ever in decades
Its like in boxing the punch that hurt you the most is the punch that you didn't see coming

There are perks living in unequal societies if you have money but not really multi millionaires, you can live like a king
As i can attest from personal experience i was born in indonesia in a upper middle class family and we have 2 live in maids and driver (which is not uncommon for upper middle class families in indonesia) and we only paid them in total about $300 usd per month
I was chaffeured everywhere i go like a ceo in western countries
And in supermarkets and shops sometimes there are more staffs than customers and they would bring your groceries to the car
Unlike supermarkets here in australia which hardly has any staffs and cashier is often replaced by self service checkout which gave you error messages so often you start to wonder if the software was made in india lol
These low paid labor low living cost countries is what makes them so attractive to retirees from the us and america
They usually flock to places like thailand or indonesia
Hell even i seriously considering selling everything i have here and moving back to indonesia due to this lol

China being more active in external policy instead of being passive. But need more pro-active policy.
Also US actions not very effective.
There maybe some luck in it in the timing as it got Trump stumped on the election year.
But let's not take credit away from the sheer hardwork and sacrifice of the medic and other stuff made the containment possible.
Have we not remember how quickly the hospitals were built? How China using Y20 and others flying in thousands of medics and other staff to many it possible? And how how these people worked around the clock to ensure we defeat this virus. All the time the west looks on and play politics by ridiculed and make accusations of China.
Lol. Watch your back!. Lol
