The thing to demand in return would be transparency about everything happening at the Wuhan lab. The problem is that the US is as implicated as the Chinese in that. Neither of the major parties in whatever happened there have an interest in a real investigation. Every other supposed investigation into the origins of the pandemic is a sideshow.

That means that it’s not a smart demand and unlikely to lead anywhere productive. COVID-19 quite clearly escaped from the Wuhan lab and they Chinese are not in a position to admit that.
On the other hand there are possible deals for more transparency that would be useful.
