why do these weird sars or whatever-like viruses originate in china?
Do you really need the answer to that?
Western countries separate the animal pen (feces and earth and all other body fluids), from slaughter. And further separates slaughter from market consumers.
And the people involved in each process rarely have contact. And there are fairly strict regimes and record keeping along the way, along with spot inspections for verification.
In China it’s all mixed together in the same place and there are no inspection, and fewer rules.
China is the perfect soup for zoonotic viral evolution and refinement.
None better could be designed by the best scientists.

1. Take the population of the United States and quadruple it.
2. Take all those people and cram them all in to the east of the Mississippi River.
3. Fertilize your food with human waste
4. Put the more liberal elements of the New York State legislature in charge of the government.
5. Eliminate food standards and replace them with quotas
Outside the tier 1-3 cities, China is a third world country with third world food, health, and medical conditions.
More than a billion people living in mostly cities; poor sanitation, water treatment, major pollution...
Fowl and pigs. Lots of them there
(Pigs+ducks+people) x total population in small area = mutation
Because their animal breeding practices particularly with duck and chicken are in too close proximity to heavily populated centers, whether towns or living quarters of the poultry industry workers. Bacteria and virus exchange are too easy in these situations. Think of anthrax outbreaks in the American West in the 1870s caused by cattle drives and drovers.
