China owes Missouri $24B for COVID

[TC Talks]

This should be interesting, especially since China didn't bother to show up. For a good laugh, see who the judge is...

A federal judge in Missouri found the Chinese government responsible for covering up the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and hoarding protective equipment in a ruling on Friday. He entered a judgment of more than $24 billion that Missouri officials vowed to enforce by seizing Chinese assets.

The lawsuit, filed by the Missouri attorney general’s office in April 2020, during the early months of the pandemic, accused the Chinese government of withholding information about the existence and spread of the virus and then of cutting off the supply of personal protective equipment, or P.P.E., from the rest of the world. Chinese officials said Friday that they did not accept the judge’s decision.

In his ruling, Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr. wrote that “China was misleading the world about the dangers and scope of the Covid-19 pandemic” and had “engaged in monopolistic actions to hoard P.P.E.” Those actions, he said, hampered the early response to the pandemic in the United States and made it impossible to purchase enough equipment for medical providers responding to the virus.

Rush Limbaughs cousin… they appear to have quite a toe hold in Missouri as a family.

While I agree that China should be held responsible for Covid….

Yeah, good luck collecting on that.

China is a more effective capitalist country than the US under Trump. They aren't communists anymore.

TC: Communist China is run by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They are using capitalism to make money and attract manufacturing so they can beat us in a war. Any manufacturing plant that is moved there from the U.S. will be nationalized and used against us when the shooting starts.
