But also hashed out why they occur more often in less developed nations. (And China is less developed.)

Really? China is a superpower - or do you disagree?  Hell, even the rich USA has poor people. The bottom line is these viruses don't originate

in the Americas - they come from Asia and Africa - Why? Because those continents have shitty-ass sanitation standards.

China is a superpower.

But just because you are a superpower, doesn't mean you are a highly advanced, developed nation.

The reason why China has such "reach" on the world stage is due to it's sheer population... When you have 1.4~ Billion citizens you have an extremely massive work force to tap into... And even if the average yearly income is only $10,000 per capita in China verses say $67,000 in the USA, they make up for that shortfall with sheer numbers.

China is basically a zerg rush in the numbers game.

Your last part is basically parroting what I have already stated prior. Yes they do have poor sanitation standards, it's a key aspect of less developed countries.
