Disputed The quote is supported as a faithful translation, but the stored record is not canonical. The linked Chosun English URL matches a March 5, 2026 article with that title, and the same-day Chosun Korean original/mirror (which explicitly links to the English version) says: "중국 화난수산시장은 초기 확산의 중요한 거점이었으며" - faithfully, "The Chinese Huanan Seafood Market was an important hub for early spread." Those sources also identify the article as written by reporter Choi Won-woo, not by the publication brand "Chosun Daily."
