I'm absolutely no fan at all of China, especially their cultural practices relating to the treatment of animals and the environment, but I don't think they are guilty of covering up or propagating this virus.
I visited China over 10years ago, it wasn't as bad as people made out in terms of hygiene, obviously, I can't say about other markets.
I do hope after this pandemic blows over, I am sure the Chinese government would implement even more stringent measures on illegal trade!!
Despite what other people think of Chinese, I have no statistics, but I dare say 99% of Chinese do not eat cat, dogs and bats etc etc, and a lot of these people who do eat are usually older generation.
As for the environment, China actually building more renewables everyday than the rest of the world put together.
The biggest polluter is USA and that crook Trump thinks climate summit was a waste of time!
