There's a theory going around as well that the murder hornets were deliberately introduced into North America by China. Honestly, I wouldn't put anything past them. The Soviet Union had far more scruples that the CCP. No, this is not implying they were good, just better than the CCP.
I try to avoid conspiracy theories, but it always made me a bit curious that China seems to be manufacturing more and more synthetic narcotics that are making their way into American markets. They are cheaper and often more potent, and from what I've heard, have replaced actual heroin to a large extent.
It's highly likely that there are entrepreneur rogue chemists in China doing this to rake in money from overseas markets. It's also not totally out of the realm of imagination that China is flooding the US with these drugs to damage us.
As for the plants, I ordered bamboo seeds from actual China not long ago because I wanted a natural barrier in my backyard. They had some interesting varieties on Amazon, and all came postmarked from either China or the Philippines. After some reading, I decided against cultivation. One reason was that they are mostly tropical varieties that are unlikely to survive in my zone 6 backyard. Another is that bamboo is apparently hard as hell to grow from seed. The main one is that the descriptions on the packages combine with my ability to identify the seeds themselves visually wasn't making me confident about the contents.
