Supplying (of course) substandard PPE of their own on contracts from the outside.

This is a country that views international trade as a weapon. One that we are arming for them.

I'm secretly hoping that Xi has been plotting to destroy the CCP ever since they killed his father, and his life's work is almost complete.

Xi's game is to make China the global hegemon. That much is clear.
