Or: the alarum over the mystery disease is intended as just cause for restricted/banned travel, initially from China but quickly ramped up to serve as an excuse for border control. Maybe by getting the networks to show clips of chinese entering the US illegally?

"Look! The possibly infected chinese infiltrators are hiding among refugees trying to enter the US! Shame! Now we have to shut the border thanks to those dastardly chinese!".

Then you can ramp it up to tight customs checks on all imports from China, focused quality and compliance checks of the goods themselves, and overall making life difficult for China.

But since so many of Biden's owners and most of the share-owners of the presidency are also heavily invested in the genocidal, racist communist dictatorship that is China*, this all seems like pure tin-foil origami.

*Remember boys and girls, moving industry to China will lead to democracy there in a few years, they promised in the early 1990s, 'cause the capitalists just won't accept co-operating with a communist dictatorship.
