Biden and China

Where is the idea that China is supporting and/or potentially aiding Joe Biden in the upcoming Presidential Election coming from? I am certain that it is BS but were there some "intelligence reports" that suggested this and/or some kind of tangible evidence presented that China even supports Joe Biden for POTUS? What is this actually based on? Where did this get started? It's not something that the MSM seems to be running with but it seems to be circulating within social media, usually as some kind of retort about Russia's seemingly obvious to most of us (by this point) support of Trump in 2016 and 2020. Are "they" just trying to create a mirror/both sides situation for Biden to deflect from Trump/Russia? Curious.

I thought that it was maybe the Russians (but if so that just makes it more obvious they're all in for Trump)

There is some evidence that there is some disinformation coming from China and Iran but nothing unusual, compared to what is coming from Russia that is even more than 2016
