Scientists who say the lab-leak hypothesis for SARS-CoV-2 shouldn't be ruled out

We should also blame the CCP for screwing up containment. Chinese culture is still deeply corrupt in ways that prevent honest and open discussion of safety issues. Honest and open discussion of safety issues should be table stakes for facilities like that in Wuhan. The rest of the world should be pressuring China to not operate these sorts of high-risk enterprises.

Heh?

Who is we? Who is pressuring the US to do anything?

DPRC is a sovereign state and can do as they damn well please just like the US.

Get off your high horse.

Countries pressure other countries to do or not do stuff all the time, no?

No. They don't. I think my question was objectively straight forward too. who pressures the US to do anything?

So either you're trolling me and pretending geopolitical hierachy doesn't exist or you may think my question is stupid. Either way...

I don't mean to troll. It just seems obvious to me that countries are pressuring other countries to do stuff all the time. Of course some countries have more power than others. Malawi isn't going to be able to lean on Poland in the same way the U.S. will be able to.
