From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_market#China

"In 2018, wet markets were noted to have remained the most prevalent food outlet in urban regions of China despite the rise of supermarket chains since the 1990s.[66]"

Later in the article, about Hong Kong, they say "Most neighbourhoods contain at least one wet market.[12]"

So there are hundreds / thousands / tens of thousands of wet markets in China.

How many level 4 bio labs are in China? 1, in Wuhan.

It seems incredibly naive to me for anyone to believe that a virus just happened to naturally jump from animals to humans at a wet market in Wuhan, when that event could have happened in thousands of other wet markets. But it didn't; it happened in Wuhan. The unique thing about Wuhan is the level 4 bio lab.
