> CCP can never be wrong or do wrong. That would risk their rule. But by failing to regulate wet markets properly, aren't they equally at fault? Perhaps the supposed logic is that a scientist at a lab doing this sort of research probably counts as a government employee, whereas someone storing animals unhygienically would more likely be self-employed, so that makes the government less directly responsible. I'm not sure if that distinction really matters to people who want to blame China's government, though.

>> But by failing to regulate wet markets properly, aren't they equally at fault? Not really. It's just "bad luck" and "nature's fault". I never heard anyone angry on the Chinese government for not adding more red tape /regulation to the wet market. If that would be the case we should have seen people protesting all over the world against public markets where sanitary conditions are not the primary concern of the merchants. I believe it'a well known that more viruses are expected to jump from animals to humans. It's just a matter of time/luck. Simply put, failing to regulate wet markets does not equal to developing and releasing a deadly virus.
