Missouri files lawsuit against China over coronavirus, Beijing calls claims 'absurd'

We knew it was coming, but I didn't think my home state would be the first in line. Missouri's AG Eric Schnitt had this to say...

"The Chinese government lied to the world about the danger and contagious nature of COVID-19, silenced whistle-blowers, and did little to stop the spread of the disease. They must be held accountable for their actions."

China's response?

"These so-called lawsuits are purely malicious abuses. Such abuses are not conducive to epidemic prevention and control in the United States, and also run counter to the current international anti-epidemic cooperation. U.S. should dismiss the indiscriminate lawsuit."

What did we expect them to say? We're sorry, how much?

I'm not so sure suing China has any merit at this time. It isn't as though there's any real gain to be had from it, even if they are guilty as charged. If the U.S. has enough evidence to make a case, then do it as a nation on the world stage and use sanctions to get the point across, but honestly, I'm not so sure that's such a great idea either. We would be better off taking advantage of their disadvantage and using it to our benefit as a nation. Source

In the meantime, maybe Missouri needs to do something to placate a growing unrest among their citizens that has led to protests for rights violations...

Precisely.

I wouldn't be surprised if some people are up for re-election there too. Using tax payer dollars for their campaign essentially.

let the whole world do it and bring that beast to its knees, its about time.

Then people will start suing their own government for "mishandling".

Precedents will be set.

Love the sentiment..but that's all it is..a sentiment. This will fly like a greyhound bus.

Lining up a run for a Democratic Presidential Primary run in 2024 ?
My guess.

The way this was handled in some parts of the U.S some government douchebags should be sued into oblivion, well ok at least fired for incompetence.

That about sums it up, and is the same conclusion I came to.

Is this person an appointed ambassador to China ?
I sure hope so.
Else this person could be in some deep doo-doo

Fired you say? More like retired with millions of dollars. America will not change til there is revolution. WW3 with China will be inevitable because everyone had always been poking China since the Opium war. First come, first serve. NWO will come whether you like it or not. Who you going to start calling Enemies after China?

Hopefully all of those who abuse authority. You're right though it'll all come with a revolution. Maybe it'll start in China?

All I know is the world should've isolated China a long time ago. No need to go to war just send them directly to jail and no collecting of the dollars. If they can't play fair, undercut everyone and stick with their oppressive ways then stone wall them.

They'll come round one way or another. I mean it's working with Iran right?

a reply to: makemap

China is going to be China regardless, I'm talking about our elected leaders, they don't represent we the people they represent themselves and that should be insulting and unacceptable to all of us.

This has to be a joke?

It may as well be. I'm sure China is shaking in their boots.

Doesn't mean there is no switching in the future.
