No, Chinese markets generally don't sell bat meat or eat bats. They eat lots of animals but bats are not one of them. (I'm sure there is a village in China where they do eat bats. It is a big country.) The photos you see online of

It is a Novela virus. By definition you don't know anything about it until it is proven. If you don't know the source (which is still unknown) then you cannot verify that it has spread human to human. (They should have assumed tha

He was brought in to sign a confession/apology on the 3rd before things were out of control. He is/was also a member of the CCP.

The virus cannot have started back in November and started at the wet market at the same time. Either one is true or the other is true. People don't live with bats. The animals they farm live near bats.

You mean like making the DNA public, posting statistics daily, sending doctors and resources to other countries to help train ... That kind of not sharing information?

The fact that people outside of China don't know what WeChat is make sense. It isn't an "online forum". It is more like a private Whatsapp group. He also told them the wrong information. He shouldn't have been charg

You need to get some better sources. The earliest case was found at the start of December but it wasn't correctly identified till the end (they went back and tested existing patients). It wasn't confirmed as being able to spread p

So, you do a lab test and it comes back Coronavirus which is expected. They do nothing (its the "cold"). Someone else wants to check it (basically luck or maybe policy since SARs) and when they do they notice it is different - 7th

It is one of the 200+ viruses that make up the common cold. If you did a lab test and found a coronavirus would it automatically raise a concern?

Are you aware that the Coronavirus is also known as "The Common Cold" and is actually fairly common? If you take a swab of someone and it comes back as a virus that causes the common cold what response do you expect? A person gets

There are currently 61 high-speed trains from Wuhan to Guangzhou on most days (although to different stations in Guangzhou). The fastest one is now just under 4 hours.

It really depends where you want to go. If you go from Shanghai to Suzhou via HSR a train goes roughly every 15 minutes. Most trains going east go through Suzhou (since it is a major hub) and it is roughly 30 minutes away which is a decent

The problem with planes is that they have to carry all their fuel/energy and to carry it costs more fuel/energy. Most high-speed trains don't carry all their fuel with them. They get it from the network. This will all change

That isn't true. You have multiple tracks for a reason. Generally, you have three separate trains on the same tracks and a sidetrack that goes into the cities or two tracks that split before the city and merge after the city. 1. Direct

Taobao shouldn't have many warehouses because of the business model. I'm not sure about TMall but I know that in Beijing they used to have a distribution point roughly every 10km through the whole city. When you used to setup your

When did Amazon start logistics? I know for a fact that Taobao/TMall was doing it in 2012. There was a distribution hub at the end of my street. I assume they had been doing it a few years before then but not 100% sure when they starte

What is interesting is that an American company is copying Chinese companies after pulling out of China because they could not compete with the local companies. Both JD & Taobao/Tmall have their own large shipping empires in China.

Except they aren't in fear. The general attitude of Chinese people that I speak to is that they are good but lots of other Chinese people are bad/don't follow rules. I constantly have Chinese people trying to protect me from

There is recycling for paper and, hard plastic and metal. There is also recycling for foodwaste. The problem is that it cannot be contaminated so it either needs to be separated or it does become trash.

Who is sending the recycling there rather than actually recycling it? Corruption, greed and negligence seems to be everywhere.

That seems to be what they are doing. University starts again soon and it is expected that the protests will loose steam. That's a boring story so people don't talk about it.
