So Covid was a lab leak after all.

Okay, @thenceforth, we should be certain that it's a mystery.

How exactly do you quantify this? # of pharma companies doesn't necessarily mean anything - as China by nature of its economy and govt would probably opt for a nationalized organization that handles its most sensitive research, not opt for hundreds of private companies.

Just cause they don't have hundreds of biotech companies doesn't mean that the people working there aren't very capable - China has shown a lot of aptitude with CRISPR and genetic sequencing. The scientists working there are I'm sure some of the brightest in the country, and they trained in France - and had direct partnership with many US firms.

obvious

You can't do nothing about it...we need china to stabilize global economy or end up nuke war with them...
