The article still presents the Chinese conspiracy as being a legitimate possibility - it reeks of Orientalism.

I didn't even consider the possibility that people would consider Republicans to be literally the result of a Chinese plot (although there was open Russian intervention on Trump's side). But I suppose it is entirely possible people would read things this and come to that conclusion.
