There are not supposed to be military establishments in the area. There were European scientist in the Wuhan facility before covid was active. This adds to the conspiracy theories. It may very well be that the origins came from the caves, but China does not help anyone in dissuading the narrative.
China is under no obligation to dissuade the Euro-centric world from a conspiracy theory narrative, and it has been moving itself into that posture for some time now. The US and Europe have been rattling sabres for years now, and that's well after a full century of humiliating China. If the West wants China to respond to their spurious conspiracy claims, they're going to have make a lot more effort to show good faith. As it stands now, if I were Chinese, I wouldn't trust the West within 100 miles of China.

Common sense would dictate that we look into the cause of the pandemic. But I totally get the fear of the pointless propaganda war that would have probably come out of it.
It's beyond belief at this point how much the western press will bend any story about China into China bad.
