China Wants to Allow Its Citizens to Sue US; Asymptomatic Cases may be More Common, and Other C-Virus Updates
China’s legislature proposed drafting a sovereign immunity law that would allow Chinese citizens to pursue legal actions against the United States over the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report.
The proposal in China’s National People’s Congress would be in retaliation for lawsuits brought against China and the ruling Communist Party by several US states and a number of countries around the world, Breitbart News reported on Wednesday.
The suits accuse China of silencing doctors who were raising alarms that the coronavirus was a contagious respiratory disease in the early days of the outbreak and of pressuring foreign countries not to impose travel restrictions on Chinese nationals.
They also claim China used its influence with the World Health Organization to downplay the severity of the outbreak.
Missouri and Mississippi have sued the Communist Party, while Texas, New York and Florida have taken legal action against China, the report said.
Citing China’s state-run media, the report said the Communist Party is seeking to amend an existing law that would allow legal action against “other countries.”
