Respectfully, your “common sense” is more accurately described as ethnocentrism.

All of us, having been lucky enough to be born and raised in the American Judeo-Christian culture, tend to believe in the Golden Rule, or at least we lean in that direction.

Thus, when something horrific like this occurs, it’s understandable the tendency is to say “we would never do something like that, therefore neither would the CCP.”

As I've said in other posts, the notion of a deliberate release has not yet been proven, but neither should it be ruled out at this early point. But, I think you can safely assume the CCP as a matter of course will lie as needed to cover their you know what.
