But nothing in this surprises me. Yes he hates the CCP but what that may not be entirely irrational. Things that make this possibly more likely:
Cover-up—CCP always covers things up, blame others (e.g. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman trying to blame the US for the CV)
Slack procedures—There have been many leakages of infectious material from Chinese labs

We will probably never know for sure as long as the CCP is in power.
