This is just a standard academic publication. It’s also from 2016. I’m not really following this train of thought. They report isolating a novel coronavirus from the bat population in that province in China. It’s not clear to me that this is the same virus. In this context it seems that it just points out that the bat reservoir does have coronaviruses. Since it’s known that there was a recent animal to human crossover, which requires a bat reservoir and likely an intermediate animal reservoir, I don’t really see that this implies the virus “escaped” from the laboratory or anything.
