It's important not to demonize Chinese people here. However, it's at the very least equally important to ensure that their agricultural practices stop producing these pandemic viruses. This is not the first one. Not even close. This is not one of those things that could have happened anywhere and the Chinese were simply unlucky. This is a direct consequence of their agricultural practices and it is extremely important that those change. Some level of international shame may be appropriate here to ensure that that happens, and as always it's important that that not steer into racism. However, if a little bit of cultural shaming works towards preventing the next pandemic, then I think that's pretty well worth it at this point.
