Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced a “historic” $24 billion judgment against China for “unleashing the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“This is a landmark victory for Missouri and the United States in the fight to hold China accountable for unleashing COVID-19 on the world,” Bailey said.
“China refused to show up to court, but that doesn’t mean they get away with causing untold suffering and economic devastation. We intend to collect every penny by seizing Chinese-owned assets, including Missouri farmland,” he added.
“Today, Missouri secured a $24 BILLION judgment against the Chinese Communist Party in a historic COVID lawsuit. This ruling is 6x larger than the biggest court judgment in Missouri’s history. Missouri is leading the fight,” Bailey wrote on X.
