Is it realistic to expect them to comply with demands that they should stop GOF research / shut down wet markets without a credible threat of (at least) an economic retribution?
The US does this kind of research, too. And, it seems like it even funded the Wuhan research at least to some extent. Would the US need a threat of economic retribution to reconsider this research? Or to change a practice of their food supply suspected of causing significant harm? Writing that out, I guess maybe it would.
