if complaining about anti-Chinese racism comes *at the expense* of preparing for the virus, which it did, that's bad.
but the nationalists' concerns are that too many people went "wheee! $$$" and didn't pay enough attention to second-order effects on other Americans and on discourse norms. (If you're too heavily invested in China, you can't break with the CCP party line.)

the canonical "classical liberal" thing to do is to have a set of principles, and then jump at opportunities that don't violate your principles, and stop when they do.

this, however, places some limits on growth if your principles aren't widely shared. eg if the CEO of a company wants to challenge China even though that'll lose money, he'd better actually have enough control over the board, or have a board that understands his choice.
