My conspiracy theory is that they want to create lockdowns to have an excuse to slowdown production and exports to USA, thus creating more inflation in the USA and hopefully internal instability.

Or maybe it's more simple than that, their vaccine doesn't work well against new omicron variants, and yet doesn't want to use foreign MRNA vaccines to "safe face".

Think wildreamz explanation is the more likely.

I have seen the China Nationals' Vac cert and they have been vaccinated 5 or 6 doses of Sinovac, Biokangtai or Sinopharm. Its literally a need to take a dose every 3-4 months

Truthfully if China had accepted Western Medicine, took 2 doses and let covid affect their people with less severe symptoms due to the MRNA minimising it, China will be much better off.

Alas, the pride of the communist are too strong and despite Omicron being mild, it will still strain their healthcare system. This is why I have little faith left for Xi Jinping's government. He is prirotising pride over the health and economy of the people. This act is too much like a dictator who is not benevolent to his people. (*Singapore had a benevolent dicatator and we benefited from it)
