The Communist Chinese lie; that's what they do. What's new is having our political, media, and cultural 'elites' seemingly verify those lies. The Chinese haven't changed; the so-called 'elites' have. Ironically, their deception will have been for naught for they will be the first ones the CCP line up against the wall.

I don't think Western institutions/elites are actually being loyal to China, infact most likely quite the opposite. China's data was just a convenient excuse for the West to unleash their own totalitarian regime. In my opinion, Western elites are not so much colluding with the CCP to unleash havoc onto the populous, but rather it's a situation where there's an overlapping interest between the CCP and the "Western" elites to act in an authoritarian fashion amongst their own people. What's the end goal of both parties for acting in this way? Ultimately we don't know. I suspect it's economic supremacy. Which is why I think this is a situation where we have two influential special interest with common interests rather than collusion or an act of loyalty. I'm sure both parties are ready to throw one another under the bus at the right moment, but at this moment in time, it seems that they are both using whatever emergency measures they can get away with against their "own" people, to further their own ends, (of which I suspect is economic and geopolitical supremacy) and they simple don't care about what collateral damage they cause.

What we seem to have here is power struggle, a world war amongst elitist special interest groups, who are using the regular people as pawns on a chess board.

There are so many moving parts within this power struggle, therefore, it's hard to tell who is loyal to who, who has good intentions, and who has bad intentions, but it is definitely us the people who are the patsy on this big geopolitical poker table.
