South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou had determined early on that it was from the pangolin, with 99% DNA match. However after getting REALLY mad at the WaPo "Sick Man of Asia" headline, China decided they needed to change history and try to blame other countries, so the university revoked this study, saying that there was a "miscommunication"
Since then, all test results on Pangolins have been in the 90% range. No studies have been done outside China.
Until a third party determines where this came from, we just have to assume it came from where the first infections took place. There is no way we can trust a study in China saying what the source of the virus was, unless it implicates that it originated in their region. We've seen enough bullshit from them that we literally can't believe a word they say.
Anyway it doesn't fucking matter. Nobody should be blaming the PEOPLE of China for it anyway. Nobody should be joking about "bat soup". Not their fault they got sick. Not their fault the only laws their government cares about are those that protect the CCP, thus leaving a wide open illegal animal market around the country, where new viruses can mutate and spread quickly.
