Japanese media is saying it originated from the U.S. There was a army Olympic games held in Wuhan back in Oct/Nov 2019, so the US army could had brought it over to screw China over. Again this is speculation as well, there is no evidence, so stop saying about the bat soup, it probably had nothing to do with that.

Define "originated"?
The first outbreak was in Wuhan. If coming from anywhere else, say someone in Wuhan got it from somewhere else, then from a virology perspective, there should be cases around the same time in other parts of China with no connection to Wuhan. However, that's not the case. Every early case report point toward Wuhan as the common factor.
Given the virus amazing capability of spreading, if it originated from ANYWHERE ELSE, shouldn't there had report of an unknown virus outbreak prior to that? Nop... zip, nada...
China just doesn't want to look bad to have 2 major outbreaks from them (SARS and now this Wuhan virus) when they are trying to paint themselves as a prosper and almighty country. When in fact, they have problem dealing even the basic hygienic issues, which I'm not sure is incompetence or corruption, but take your pick. The fact that wet market can still exist at the scale of those found in China give you a sense how lack of control they have on this very basic hygiene issue.
So again, define originated... and get back to me how it's from somewhere else other than China. Unless you want to discuss where coronavirus (as the entire genre) first originated... I don't see how you can point it elsewhere.
