but if the CCP truly planned to release it - they would have gained immensely by releasing it around a Taiwanese military establishment, or Washington, or Tokyo.
Plausible deniability, plus not caring about their own people. If it was an intentional release and directed at another nation, that justifies actual war with China. If it starts in their own nation, Xi can just get up on the world stage and go "Oh me so sorree, Coronachan accidentarry reave rab. Scientists in charge been dealt with."
Ideally they would have released it to coincide with a major travel period to spread the virus quickly.
The 7th World Military Games, an Olympic-style competition, was held in Wuhan and began October 18 and ended October 27, 2019. Just a few weeks before the "leak" supposedly happened.
That could be all true -

What else would they have done?
✅- Ideally they would have released it to coincide with a major travel period to spread the virus quickly.
