That is victim blaming. Quite frankly bizarre.
It's nothing of the sort.
?Yes they did. By your own admission. And it was widely known. Here's 2016.
Why southern China is a hotbed for disease development
Pandemics like Zika and Ebola can originate in one continent and quickly spread to another. To stop outbreaks before they start, scientists are trying to identify regions conducive to the development of new disease. One target is southern China, where factors such as daily wildlife trade and...www.pbs.org
They were uniquely negligent. I find your position on this odd, as you're saying because China are a dictatorship and could lock their entire population indoors under threat of summary execution, then for some reason they're not to blame and every other country is... despite China cultivating the disease in the first instance.
You're wrong, to put it bluntly. Very wrong for very obvious reasons.
It is. It doesn't matter what the response is - whether Sweden, the UK, Brazil - literally doesn't matter as they didn't cultivate the virus in the first instance.
So the person wearing "lion armour" is no different to someone who didn't morally. It's basically akin to someone being fortunate enough to duck when shot at compered to someone who wasn't - ultimately they were both shot at exactly the same way.
Wet markets. You stated it yourself. They are uniquely negligent. There's a discussion from 2016 about how it clearly, blatantly needed to stop because a pandemic was inevitable and they did the square sum of nothing about it.
You've swapped one bad analogy for another.
Again, it's exactly what you're saying. It's not a bad analogy, you just don't like getting pulled up on your terrible take on this.

All we have to do is stop buying all their junk off eBay, Amazon, wish etc etc...
I said wet markets. I don't know where I've stated that China cultivated the conditions to create a virus.
I have however, as the article points out, suggested it is something that was known about as a risk and continues to be so.
Which they cultivated?
Are you seriously saying China didn't cultivate wet markets and thus the potential for pandemic viruses?
Quite.
I think your misunderstanding stems from your equivalence of thinking ignoring wet markets is the same as 'literally cultivating the perfect environment' for a virus to develop
There is also some debate as to if the wet markets were where it originated from or if it was an example of an early super spreading event. Which makes it more difficult to seek reparations where there is contested origins.

Safely back home in not so sunny Cornwall now.
Had a very nice stay in Portishead mate. The Italian meal was excellent and even gave me a plateful of chopped chillies on the side as I said I liked my pasta hot. I think they were testing me as the chefs clapped me on the way out after I'd eaten them all. lol
Didn't explore as much as we'd have liked but had breakfast at aqua this morning and then went for a quick look at the waterfront before going home. Portishead is definitely now on our list of stopovers next time we have to go to a funeral back in Liverpool, which probably won't be that long away sadly.
But the good news is that you aren't in the missus' bad books. You deffo don't want that.
Again, and in contrast to your injudicious use of literally, it literally isn't exactly what I'm saying.
