The anti-lab theory is popular among people who subscribe to the "two 
people can effectively keep a secret when one of them is dead"-theory 
and "China does enough bad things without having to invent reasons"-theory.

China at least seems to manage their oppressed populations "well enough" 
(deliberate scare quotes) such that they don't regularly have to bomb 
and strafe 25,000 of them to death in retaliation for when they get 
uppity and stage a violent prison riot.
