China is cracking down on the exotic meat trade. But that might not end it

Liu Jianping, an official with the Shenzhen Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, said that the poultry, livestock and seafood available to consumers were sufficient.

"I think people who eat wild animals are seeking novelty. It's a kind of a subculture," Ms Zhang said. Chinese officials have pointed out that the vast majority of markets in China only sell live seafood and possible poultry, but not live animals. Animal rights groups were thrilled when China's Government issued a temporary ban in late February on poaching, selling and eating wild animals.

...nowhere can sell. Why u only report PM contact UK&France &German about so called 'inqury' but never report their leader only agree focus on dealing with pandemic now and investigate later? And lots of other news. I love both country, feel so sick about ur news.

...why you never report the GOP memo about 'all blme China'? Why u never report top Lancer scientists praise China? Why u never report what the wet market really is?(it's almost the only way farmers sell products to people in whole Asia area.and if shutdown, AU's lobster also...

I love Australia,and i love Australian, almost every Aussie i met we're so nice and friendly. I just curious why ABC News always only report some negative side of China? Ignore all the positive information about China? Why u so ugly to misleading Australian?...

Crack down on traditional Chinese medicine too that uses exotic animals as treatments. Deplorable.

Majority wet markets are basically equivalent to our farmers markets. please watch this video of an American YouTuber living in china explain them and take you on a tour of a typical wet markets Don't fall for the renlentless media propaganda please 🙏

On the advice of China, ok sure

Scientists are the best people to find out how this started and thats what they are currently doing. This Australia led investigation is just a political blame game.
