Missouri is suing the Chinese government and other top institutions, accusing the country of covering up information, silencing whistleblowers and doing little to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Missouri is suing the Chinese government and other top institutions for the role they played in the coronavirus pandemic and the effects it has had on the state, accusing the country of covering up information, silencing whistleblowers and doing little to stop the spread of the disease, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced Tuesday.

At least 6,105 people have been confirmed to have the virus in Missouri and at least 229 have died, according to numbers from Johns Hopkins University.

I've sued in the past knowing I had little to no chance to win. Sometimes it comes down to principle and character. All states in the union should follow our beautiful 'Show me' state and sue China.

Good luck

First take care of the people...When you are hungry eat something rather than going to play football. May God give him some wisdom.

Are we heading towards a “battleground clash” scenario for the US—China conflict? Covid-19 seems to accelerate what we’ve outlined in this earlier white paper with EurasiaGroup:

It's a good thing Missouri has the resources and lack of real problems that they can do this. While they're at it, why don't they sue Spain for the Spanish flu

The H1N1 flu that broke out in the US in 2009 spread to 214 countries and regions, killing nearly 575,000 people in a single year. Has anyone demanded the US for compensation?

I can here the defense attorney asking them what steps did you take to mitigate damages.

Noowwwww they care about whistleblowers...

Fuckinh AY!! It's all a big global scam perpetrated by the 1% wealthy: Rockefeller Foundation, Rotchillds, Bill Gates, etc, to destroy the global economy and create a new world order. It's imperative for them to destroy the USA Economy+Democracy to achieve their goal.

Republicans are a joke. Trump is responsible for the spiking deaths and the number of cases in the US. He sat on his hands and the Republican Congress with right along with him

So when will it Sue Trump for the same thing?

I know people who live in Missouri, they don't believe this virus is real, I think the government has not been very engaging there, with little to no restrictions.

It's God wrath on the earth. The Lord Jesus Christ has accusiaon against all the people of the world. Because they refuse to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ death and resurrection.

Why not sue the impeached Putz?

America should compensate the world!

if China controls it early, it won't spread all over the world? Why did the United States cause proliferation throughout the United States when the first case occurred. None of you can prevent proliferation by yourself. Why should China be required to block virus in own country?

Isn’t it just perfectly ironic this state name sounds like “MISERY”

Should be suing trump based on those items....

A great listener of Trump...

United States did little either.

Excellent.. someone who won't give China a free pass for killing almost 200,000 people worldwide to date.. We want to see justice.

Why not sue the Trump Administration? They claimed an entire pandemic was a democratic hoax.

This made me think, how many Countries have reason to sue the United States for murder, suffering and economic total loss?

Come on Missouri. That's equivalent to pissing on a forest fire

Good luck with that. He should start with moron-in-Chief.

Good luck with that. The ole blame game.

Do 'other top institutions' include the White House?

Kind of sounds like realDonaldTrump agenda! Think they are suing the wrong person!

Thick as fuck.

Ah..pointing the finger in this matter is called a distraction🤔

You yanks are weird...

Yeah lockdown the country for more than a month = doing little

Suing China in an American court....lmao

Every stupid state is doing the same things to blame someone else,never and ever to does the real things to the involved people in COVID-19 ,what a shame.If you have a one tenth dedication on fighting the COVID-19 like what you are doing now ,the country won’t be so horrible now

Hehehe

So suing China for same things realDonaldTrump is doing in the US and to Mizzou

US citizens don’t elect Chinese politicians to build a government to protect them. They vote for US politicians to be into positions of accountability. It’s actually quite simple.

Imagine all the countries suing other countries which had, in some way, contributed directly, or indirectly, to causing them any harm/loss over the years - it would never end! Lawyers would be very wealthy! USA, and where I live, the UK, would be VERY busy defending ourselves!

Thats really something. The US accusing another nation of silencing whistle blowers..

Sue Trump!

Trump called Covid-19 a big flu for months. And Trump adminstration did not take any action to defend the Covid-19 virus. They'd better sue Trump. It's much easier.

When China locked itself down western countries focused on criticizing its infringement of human rights. They turned a blind eye to the virus back then and took no coordinated action. Like what Trump said publicly in February, it’s a just a flu.

Missouri courts finds China guilty. Orders reparations of 3 gazillion dollars. China says what u gonna do, imprison us? Go fuck yourselves A waste of time and money suing a foreign country who isn't bound by US law. Good luck with that Missouri!

Sue your president please. 😂 😂

Schmitty got a lot of spare time on his hands. What a waste.

China's response and hiding of necessary infomation from the world has created a lot of suspicion Latest updates | cases per million population👇 coronavirus COVID

The man is blind! China was doing very well, so the blockade of Wuhan has been lifted! In contrast, the U.S. government has done little to stop the spread of coronavirus, so the United States has the most confirmed cases.

The politicians' tricks are on.Create a trend on TIKTOK, double-click 666!

US should be accused of global financial crisis in 2008!👏👏👏

Supporting publicly the dictators in Moscow and Peking, you are also responsible for the outcome. Yeah, 'we don't want change your political (dictatorial)' system. Even, if this is a kind of Machiavellianism. But, how could Trump sue himself, what would be more consequential :)

Wow! Could look closer to home!

Silencing whistleblowers...

Charity begins at home. They should sue the US Government first.

Just focus your attention to local work on preventing virus spreading, which is the priority right now.

You messed it up yourself. As the WHO warned, Chinese outstanding achievements may mask the seriousness of the pandemic itself, a easy impression slows down some governments and thereafter leads to disaster. The event is clear, the data and event is shared to all people timely.

What about stop the spreading first and then start the arguing?

Ok,why not suing the god?He cannot prevent you from suffering this.Suing the Washington founding the America?

China’s lies don’t excuse the Inept and negligent response of the trump administration. The lies, downplaying of the virus and unwillingness to prepare has now killed at least 43,000 Americans.

Does that mean Bat Fried Rice no longer available in Missouri

Silencing whistleblowers... . Hmmm where have I heard that before? Not doing enough. . Hmmmm where have I heard that before?

Trying to decide if this is a joke or not.

China is infact asshoe

Apparently the AG of MO has nothing better to do.

Then they'd better sue Trump. He had Israel warned during the 2nd week of November that there was a serious health issue in Wuhan. Trump's people embedded with WHO warned Trump in December, so they should sue him too.

If they're wanting to sue over the sins of 'covering up information, silencing whistleblowers and doing little to stop the spread of coronavirus,' they could do that locally by serving the orange-faced squatter in America's White House.

If Germany or South Korea spends time following suit, lets divert our attention to the GOP's distractions for its dear leader.

Stupid is as stupid does...

Waste of time. Only way we can punish China is in our buying habits. Read the label.

its a natural phenomen this is so dumb and mendacious. Imagine for a second america as the origin. Would have trump compared it with the flu? Would he downtalk it in the early ? Would he shut down his country like china did? As an european this is dumbfuckistan live show

Bravo! 👏👏

That's an effective use of state realised.

Missouri, the stupid state.

Brainless accusation...prove it

NYC joke😂

Gotta love a state that’s losing likely billions in revenue that will now spend millions to sue a country that won’t pay even if found to have fault. It’s almost like Missouri is trying to be Kansas.

My great State. We don't take shit even from China.

China like....

Missouri coulda worn a condom, jussayin’.

Yes right steps... Let us meet in the international court of law. Those monsters eating deadly raw meet must be eradicated from the earth or send them as slave to the pit of Seoul

Can we work on controlling the spread of the virus first?

Stupidity is a form of virus🤦‍♂️

And what court is conducting the trial?

haha seriously china has been telling bout the virus since january.. n the others did nothing to prevent. wow.

Backstorymom1 SMH

One of many hopefully
