They might be able to limit/reduce the trade. It's seems a bit extreme to outright ban though...

But if China started reducing the market for endangered species that's not so bad.

I'm also guessing that mutation of viruses is a probability game, so reducing the trade might be all it takes to change the probability.

In China, banning == limiting.

_Part_ of the reason there are so many "extreme" laws from western perspective.

Well, I don't see drug abuse and underage alcohol consumption that uncommon and they are banned.
