The way liberals always jump to blaming foreigners for political problems in the US is both absurd and, honestly, kind of fascist.

True, but I think the article is meant as more sort of like a "how can they (the GOP) be so stupid?" type of thing.

The article still presents the Chinese conspiracy as being a legitimate possibility - it reeks of Orientalism.

I didn't even consider the possibility that people would consider Republicans to be literally the result of a Chinese plot (although there was open Russian intervention on Trump's side). But I suppose it is entirely possible people would read things this and come to that conclusion.
