China has been a source of virulent pathogens for literally thousands of years, including the Plague of Justinian that fatally wounded both the Sassanids and the Byzantines, paving the way for Arab supremacy, and the Black Plague that killed half of Europe all the way up to the Swine Flu of 2009. But this one time, it’s obvious that the virus was a weapon engineered by the Chinese government.
The “scientists” and engineers who work in that WuHan Bioweapons lab routinely sold the animal experimental subjects into the WuHan meat market when they were finished with them at the lab. That is the norm for a totally controlled totally bureaucratic state. It is totally corrupt and its employees will make some extra money any way they can finagle it.
