You got that wrong. It is NOT Chinese bats alone, but the ocelot from Africa or turtle from Indonesia being kept on top of each other in cages and slaughtered on situ. The presumption is that bats may have gotten it from some other wildlife which naturally would not ever be close to each other to transmit the infection.
So, in Europe or US if you sold live boars, packed in cages next to a African monkeys and South American ant eaters. Slaughter and sold them on situ then you would have a point.
