Absolutely nothing in either of those articles indicates the virus originated anywhere but China.

That it was circulating in Wuhan in October widely enough for contagion at military games suggests strongly that it's origin is in fact China.

How does it strongly suggest the origin is in China? The disease was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, where many countries (especially European ones) are starting to find that their first cases were in December 2019 (if not earlier) as well. Once again, this is really stating my point that China detected COVID-19 sooner than everyone else, and hence demonised by it, setting an incredibly bad precedence for future outbreaks!
