The "wet markets" of the Peoples' Republic of China have received a fair amount of abuse, via allegations that they are responsible for the rise of the destructive coronavirus... there is a self-congratulatory social media meme, "we don't eat bats over here." So presumably "they" are at fault "over there." Indeed, a September 2019 article in a peer-reviewed journal concluded, in more august scientific language, proposed " biological behavioral surveillance in high-risk geographic areas in order to reduce the risk of zoonotic disease emergence." That apparently means somebody should keep track of what's going on in the wet markets of emerging countries and crack down on practices that might enhance risks. The same study identified "serological evidence of bat coronavirus spillover in rural communities in Southern China."
