Yes, it is their responsibility. They delegate the power on them. The same way that americans are responsible for Trump, Brazilians for Bolsonaro, Duterte, etc. People are responsible for the leaders they support.
Beijing tightens grip over coronavirus research, amid US-China row on virus origin | CNN
China has imposed restrictions on the publication of academic research on the origins of the novel coronavirus, according to a central government directive and online notices published by two Chinese universities, that have since been removed from the web.www.cnn.com
Basically, history will repeat itself since China refuses to research the origins of how the vírus started.
It's high time to divest from China and isolate them.
Their refusal to investigate and publish the origin of the virus is a great disservice to Science all over the world.
Scientists deserve to know everything if we are to band together as a species to come up with a vaccine and prevention
The rest of the world should have done that a long time ago over their treatment of the Uyghurs.
Are you really that clueless about how it works over in China?
Nah. the Chinese government did this before with SARS. All countries with ties to china who were impacted by this virus should cancel all debt to them and put pressure on companies to pull out until they are more willing to co-operate.
It seems like people are getting way too caught up in the debate of "how" these diseases are being spread, whether it's wet markets - which some of you probably saw a single YouTube video about and are ready to declare all wet markets as safe as Whole Foods after a simple act of Chinese soft-power - and truly needing to understand HOW these diseases are jumping from animals to humans repeatedly in China.
SARS, Avian Bird Flu, Swine Flu, and now COVID-19. Something is fucked up in China/Southeast Asia, and for the sake of all of humanity, we need to discover what the cause is, and improve conditions, sanitary or otherwise, to prevent this sort of thing from ever happening again.

I'm just not making excuses, if the CCP is so bad I'm sure the billion plus Chinese people in China could get rid of them. That's what has always been done before with shitty rulers. What's so different about them? Are they inmortal fucks?
Maybe they should use different methods to get rid of them besides public demonstrations...
You clearly haven't lived in an autocracy before and lack the necessary imagination to realize the level of control there. What kind of other methods haven't been used, do you think?

Use your imagination.
Yup. Fuck the CCP for this and fuck them for their treatment of minorities.
Not to mention the practice of stealing said minorities internal organs for the transplant markets.
Thats a function of the country still being a poor third world Country for a vast majority of the population. You go anywhere in SE Asia and you'll see similar wet markets. They aren't the problem because those merchants can't afford the same conditions as in the west.
as for the wildlife trade, thats been banned after this crisis, though enforcing this will be like enforcing illegal drug bans... it's going to be tough.
China just banned the trade and consumption of wild animals. Experts think the coronavirus jumped from live animals to people at a market.
Experts think the coronavirus jumped from animals to people in a market in Wuhan, China. Officials have now banned the wildlife trade nationwide.www.businessinsider.com
Yep, I know they're everywhere (even in many places in "the west") I've just seen a couple of threads and videos (on various websites) about how the problem in China is actually the overall culture, not just the wet markets - e.g. visitors to China from neighbouring countries reporting wild hygiene issues and strange idiosyncrasies like "road kill stalls" where living or dead animals are scooped off roads and cooked there and then - all of this to the horror of the also-Eastern visitors. The stories I saw were from Indians, Egyptians, Vietnamese, Malays - all aghast at what they saw, even from countries where wet markets are a massive part of the food culture.
BUT it probably all came down to anecdotal evidence in the end, so not reliable anyway.
