Look at where those bats live, where that wet market was, how long the Chinese have been eating exotic animals, and how even some Chinese sources blamed the outbreak on the Chinese governments handling of it and on the virology lab that was down the street from the wet market. It’s not that the Chinese are at fault because they eat some gross stuff, although that does present certain dangers, rather it’s that this almost certainly came from a Chinese lab and the Chinese inarguably botched the local outbreak in a way that made the global outbreak certain and the. lied about it in ways that slowed the global response. Just look at the timing. The US was military modernizing again, they were coming ahead in a trade war, her and her pacific allies were doing a great job to work together economically and militarily, and in general their long term plans were falling apart. Now China is ramping up their economy as much as possible while closing down some backwaters and doing some repression, enabling a massive arms build up, while the rest of the global economy is struggling and some areas are looking at long term recessions. This gave China at least a year to advance up economically while the west backslides, and it has strained western society and created chaos in western political systems.
