Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has secured a groundbreaking $24 billion judgment against the Chinese Communist Party for their role in the COVID-19 pandemic. This is six times larger than any previous judgment in Missouri’s history. The Federal court ruled that Missouri had provided enough evidence to establish the claim of damages caused by China’s actions. The state intends to collect every penny by seizing Chinese-owned assets, including farmland in Missouri.
Former Attorney General Eric Schmitt had filed a lawsuit in 2020 against the Chinese Communist Party for obstructing the production, purchase, and export of critical medical equipment, such as PPE, during the pandemic. The $24 billion judgment is seen as a landmark victory for Missouri and the United States in holding China accountable for the suffering and economic devastation caused by the pandemic.
Missouri will now work on collecting the judgment and, if necessary, collaborate with the Trump Administration to identify and seize Chinese-owned assets to protect the state’s economy and national security. This judgment marks a significant step in the fight against China’s role in the global health crisis.
