Time to sue China?

[Lacessit]

Coronavirus has caused massive damage to economies worldwide. That's a no-brainer. It is also evident China and its ruling Communist party covered up the outbreak, and punished medical staff who sought to raise the alarm. This has appeared in an Australian newspaper:

What do you think?

They spread it on purpose

Payback to the west

[TopDeadSenter]

Yes agree 100%, China must be forced to pay reparations. They must pay every single penny lost to everybody due to their (lets be frank) evil and appalling handling of their virus, plus lump sums to bereaved families that lost loved ones. Even to this day the CCP are trying to blame the US or UK for the outbreak. The false narrative aided and boosted by the usual suspects in the west. By punishing China it will ensure the next time they have a virus leak from a top secret lab or from some bat eater they will be open and honest about it.

I think they are complete a_rseholes .....

How about this:

 

$20 trillion lawsuit against China! US group says coronavirus is bioweapon

 

Coronavirus update: The plaintiffs have sought USD 20 trillion, which is a bigger amount than China's GDP, claiming coronavirus is the result of a biological weapon prepared by the Chinese authorities

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but good luck in trying to force them to pay, especially since they are in denial and trying to blame others.

Crazy comment, so in your opinion, the world should punish the Chinese population for the wrong doings of their masters.

[ravip]

I wish all countries that destroyed other countries economies are made to pay up. Why, only China?

If one read the news, you will see how Innocent people, including children, were killed brutally by so called powerful developed countries on false accusations etc.

Why, are they justified? Do certain countries have the right by default, to destroy any other country at their whim and fancy? Does not one feel ashamed to cover up those atrocities?

Not crazy at all. They spread it via the people on purpose.

 

 

[Rimmer]

The WHO should also take some responsibility for the initial Chinese cover up

[UbonThani]

Who is being punished?

Locals

Local businesses

Ruined economy

The west needs to protect themselves

They dont owe Chinese foreigners anything

Cant catch a virus if infected spreaders are banned

10 yr ban is light compared to the mess they started

I think the Govt of China has sovereign immunity. However, that does not stop actions against Chinese companies or entities or individuals if the standards are met.

Isn't that was has been happening anywhere in the world, and as far as human memory stretches, that average Joe pays for the wrong doings from their governments?

Not the first bioweapon planted by the Chinese.   One of the first was Lucy Liu .  I almost

went crazy when watching her and needed to self isolate myself

Got that right. The World Handsitting Organization's performance was and still is simply appalling.

I still reckon the US started it.

Exactly mu thoughts also. Why would a country release a biological weapon in their own country first?

The theory is, 3,000 Chinese deaths is acceptable collateral damage.

the leak into the local market, only 200 metres down the road from the Lab, was a security (blase) slip up...

Oh, that must be the first time that someone on this forum admits the Chinese numbers are real.
