If it was intentional the Chinese would have anticipated any short-term loss. They play the long game.
Their economy was already affected by the new tariffs. Coincidental timing or not?
The U.S. owes China trillions of dollars because the trade imbalance was allowed to continue for far too long.

Atm we don't have all the facts to form a solid idea so off course it's all just conjecture on my part.
Time might reveal the bigger picture.

The elderly, the sick AND babies are all at high risk if they catch the flu. And yes, babies and toddlers often do. They're at higher risk of death because their immune systems have not developed.
That's some tin foil hat reasoning to conclude that the Chinese planned this outcome because of some long term goal. Even if you are right, they have drained Trillions and Trillions of yen off their balance sheets. They need that $$$ to pay the debt on all the infrastructure commitments (ports, internet) they have in Malaysia, Africa and Pakistan. They lost HUGE volumes of manufacturing they will NEVER get back because people diversify. China is getting crushed by this thing.

Come on guys. Isn't it obvious? The Coronavirus was brought to us by a multi-dimensional intergalactic race of beings known as the Tolatan (at least that is what they call themselves). They often appear to us in the form of a Sasquatch, or Bigfoot (Colloquially read: Samsquanch) because they believe this appearance will be odd enough to be notable but familiar enough to appear mostly un-threatening. After years of trying to communicate with us with large, deep "Woo Woo Woo" noises, which they initially believed was how we communicate, due to their only observations being from long range in lunar orbit, as most sound they pick up is the sound of an engine, such as helicopters and combines, they have become frustrated.

They introduced Coronavirus in order to reduce our population is size, primarily, for their inevitable attempted assimilation, or if necessary take over, but also to focus our attention on one issue and get rid of the many political distractions so that they can observe commonalities in our various languages and develop a better communication strategy after their on the ground observations confirmed that we actually communicate differently than they first estimated.

Keep your head buried in the sand for as long as you like. But when the Tolatan come, you'll all be sorry you didn't listen to me.

By the way we don't have all the facts to form a solid idea so of course it's all just conjecture on my part.
Time might reveal the bigger picture.

next thing you know people will be seeing Tolatan in the aisles at Sam's club trying to stock up on TP... which is currency in their world. So it only makes sense to bank up.

It is one of many forms of currency, the other main one being of course the Tolatanian Duckett. They find TP quite valuable, as a Squanch dook is nearly 4 times the size of the average human purge. They also have a rather crudely formed anus, so the clean pinch is a near impossibility. In fact when it occurs, on their home planet, there is often a large festival called a "holokodoodoo" (rough translation) held and the lucky individual is celebrated for some time.
