In large parts of China, especially in the countryside, over the last 20 or 30 years, the health system has been crumbling. You've got problems in terms of being able to provide basic health care to people. Surveillance is key to containing any outbreak, and to preventing any pandemicnot only in the animal sector, of course, but then you have to be able to also survey the human population.
Roy Wadia
The important thing is how the authorities handle the outbreak, how swiftly it is addressed and how quickly birds are culled. China in that practice has plenty of experience, so we are confident from the animal point of view the outbreaks are tackled as quickly as they can be.

This is a psychologically telling moment for a country that has never had bird flu cases in the past in humans.
