I do not believe that Chinese communist doctrine involves taking over the world. It is not religion based so they have no reason to believe that the rest of the world is evil. China does not hate America. I don't know where you would get that view. China wants to make a strong and powerful nation. Economically powerful for the benefit of its people and its leaders. Militarily powerful so it can protect its interests, not expand them. Both of those goals are the same as the US. It is very communist and dictatorial so it also wants a powerful military to control its people and keep it communist. As long as democratic countries do not try to force democracy on China (or what it believes to be China - eg Taiwan, Hong Kong) there is a balance. That could change, but there is balance and the potential for mutual benefit economically with trade (protecting IP and with balanced fair two way trade).
And nations can and do spy on each other all the time. The average internet jockey will never know what is actually going on, nor should they. And it works both ways. We spy on them and they spy on us. We catch them and plug holes, and they find other ways. They catch us, they plug holes, and we find other ways. And on and on. Nothing to start doing because its already being done.
But this virus has nothing to do with any of that. Yes it started there. It could have started anywhere and maybe the next one will be somewhere else.
I do think that the biggest worry all of us should have now is how the next ISIS or Al Qaida that are true enemies of the USA and Judaeo Christian nations are taking notes about what is the best state is to plant some future virus they are developing. Definitely makes sense to start such a biological weapon in the places where governments are slow to react or where a State government believes that the right to freedom outweighs the need to isolate and protect the vulnerable. I think we are past that stage in the US at this point. But it took well over a month. And this virus' death toll seems for the most part mostly in the older demographic. I highly doubt that a true biological weapon will work that way. And the next natural virus may not either.
