OK, this has been bugging me, and I need to ask: what are China's commonly accepted covid-19 origin stories? Do they think that American agents in the WIV released it on purpose? Or that we were were intentionally doing dangerous research on foreign soil so that someone else would bear the brunt of any mistakes?

As I understand it, here in the USA we've mostly settled on it being either from an accidental leak from the WIV, or from an exotic meat market. For a while there was speculation about cave explorers, but I haven't heard that in years. And after China's response was so self-damaging, I haven't heard suggestions that the CCP intentionally released it.
