I think you are close to correct… when you factor in that China got its Technocracy model from some of the oligarchs who really run America (who wanted a test case before they went global), China meddling in the US the way it has could be just another way the Shadow government asserts it’s influence on American politics. Plus China is a useful bogey man - the US blamed things (like the pandemic) on them, they blame it on the US, and everyone else is left confused (now it seems pretty clear it was both of them, working together).
We are on much the same plane. Rivals co-operate when it suits them. And let us not forget that subordinate levels of the Deep State may have an interest in weakening their masters, in order to discredit and ultimately displace them.
Re Covid, it is clear that the US outsourced retrovirus research to China, presumably to surveil their capacity for biowarfare. The Chinese welcomed the money, assumed that they were dealing with the usual corrupt and mercenary Americans and possibly monitored the Deep State side of things as well. How much Beijing was aware of anything is beyond me. I rather doubt that Xi would want a global pandemic.
Technology transfers are so murky it is ridiculous. There is a long history of technology transfer being used for all sorts of purposes. The oligarchs would assume that the technology will spread anyway, so prefer to manage the process themselves.
