U.S Judge Rules China Liable For Covid, Orders $24 Billion Penalty, State To Seize Chinese Assets

Missouri's attorney general has won a lawsuit blaming China for mishandling the Covid pandemic, with a state judge ruling that China must pay $24 billion in damages. Officials say they plan to seize Chinese assets within Missouri to enforce the ruling. China, however, has dismissed the lawsuit, calling it baseless in fact and law. The case marks a significant escalation in U.S.-China tensions over the origins and handling of the pandemic. The Chinese government did not respond in court, leading to the ruling in Missouri’s favor. #Missouri #China #Covid19 #CovidLawsuit #USChinaTensions #ChinaCoverUp #PandemicResponse #Lawsuit #BreakingNews #CovidCompensation #MissouriCourt #ChinaAssets #LegalNews #CovidOrigins #ChinaUSRelations #CovidJustice #USLawsuit #InternationalLaw #CovidAccountability #ChinaPenalty ~ED.346~HT.336~
