One particular bat species, the Horseshoe bat, has been found to carry coronavirus similar to SARS-Cov-2. That species of bat is found in China, in the Wuhan area, along with some other habitats in Asia. There are also other animals in that region which carry other viruses that are potentially deadly and possibly passable to people from animals. That is why the lab is located in that area. Not really a coincidence.
