The extremely watered down version of the pants on head "they did it on purpose" theory I've heard is they didn't close outbound travel and did some other non-actions so that the rest of the world would be equally screwed in this zero sum game. Even that I find to be national-narcissism. Not everything China does is about you OK.
Its not actually zero sum. Some people just think in those terms.

Plus they get to roll out some new tech and divert a bunch of money to their friends. (takes off tinfoil hat): bats are gross and labs are very leaky. hanlon's razor says something stupid happened.
