The British Sunday Times ran a piece fingering China using anonymous State Department sources, without noting that the State Department and USAID may themselves be culpable.
After I saw this I read another thread on twitter, from Michael Shellenberger- he did some work with a couple others, including Matt Taibbi- which I thought really missed the point. I have a lot of respect for them, but their thread missed exactly what your questioning has illuminated - this is our baby, not China's.

I made brief mention of that. Yeah, they seem to be swallowing the State Dept line.
