Here is China making a coronavirus like the one causing the pandemic, even acting on the ACE2 receptor and testing it in human cells, publishing it in early 2008:

Here they are again, years later, still playing with extremely hazardous coronaviruses that act on the ACE2 receptor in humans:

This one gene-edits the host cells to have both human and bat traits, making it easier to breed bat viruses into becoming human viruses:

I'm curious how you concluded that what they did made it easier to breed bat viruses into becoming human viruses?
