CCP has plenty of money. Theyre not north korea. That would be like the US government running scam centers. Juice not worth the squeeze.

How would it compare to the persistent belief that the CIA uses the illegal drug trade for funding?

CIA has to get funds beyond what is approved by US govt to fund unapproved missions. China doesn't have these problems.

The amount of copium when it comes to China vs US is illogical. If you’ve ever done business in China, you know there are honest folk and there are officials who do backroom deals that flaunt or bend the law, particularly abroad. If there’s money to be had, it will be made. If there’s points to be scored on the latest edict, they will be scored. If it needs to be done, but the public can’t handle hearing about it for their own good, it shall be so.

The same is true of US officials. I still dont think any of them are running scam centers.
