Missouri Sues, But Should China be Held Accountable for the Global Spread of COVID-19?
The US and Australia this week stepped-up on seeking accountability from China for the coronavirus outbreak, with Missouri the first US state to sue China. Experts think that Missouri’s case is legally weak, and the real intention is to bring political issues to the court and take the opportunity to pin the responsibility on China. Assoc Prof Li Mingjiang from NTU’s RSIS said the West is seeking accountability and compensation from China out of political motives, including shifting blame, distracting the people, and winning over domestic votes.
