They probably are. But don't forget that the US State Dept and embassy in Hong Kong were openly supporting Hong Kong "Antifa" during the riots there. Protest leaders went so far as to pose for pics with US embassy staff. US Aid and National Endowment for Democracy (CIA cut outs) also distributed gas masks to thousands of protesters - and you can bet your bottom dollar that they likely contributed a whole lot more than just gas masks. So if the Chinese are now involved in the US protests (they probably are) then this is simply tit for tat. It's almost like certain forces are pushing strong for a war between the US and China. If we look at past models of global economic meltdowns - they are usually followed by major wars.
