The wet market is owned by a guy who married a high level chink official. Wuhan govt has been trying to shut down the wet market because it is next to their govt offices and looks bad, but the guy who owns it is married to an official who is stronger politically than the local govt. Chinks are saying the release of the virus at the wet market was a false flag done by the local govt who just wanted the wet market to go away - they didn’t think it would get out of hand.
