Regardless of what people's thoughts on the matter is, what has become extremely evident is that there has been a significant change in tone on this from the US side of the ledger.
I am not sure if this is an offensive move or a defensive move, perhaps a lot of the questions that have been asked in recent weeks about the US involvement in a potential "lab theory release" has or is digging up some valuable intel on the matter.
This was something that was completely dismissed by a huge portion of people in power at the time and just today the White House releases a statement indicating US intelligence agencies will look into the matter.

Whatever the case ends up being, people in the know around the globe know more than your average CP user and Joe Blow, naturally that is the case. These type of things generally have a habit of letting out a smell after a while that becomes unavoidable.
The seismic shift in messaging can not be ignored and will only gather more steam. I am not saying anything one way or another but I do expect China to respond to this in a meaningful fashion.
How this play's out will be fascinating and clearly more information will come out regardless of what people may or may not know happened.
