China was found guilty by default when their culpability for the costs to the state of Missouri. The judgment against them is a huge “$24,488,825,457.00,” with post-judgment interest “at a rate of 3.91 percent, compounded annually.” This could prompt other states to take action against China and the Wuhan lab. The judge in the case was Stephen Limbaugh, first cousin to Rush and David Limbaugh. Small world isn’t it?
In 2020, Missouri sued the Chinese government for $25 billion “for causing and exacerbating the COVID-19 pandemic” and for hoarding medical equipment during the pandemic, but China refused to appear in court, according to Bailey’s office. Instead, Beijing dispatched a Chinese government surrogate to litigate its lawsuit on its behalf to shield itself from legal repercussions, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s office asserted in a legal filing on Friday.
Bailey said:
“We will not allow the CCP to manipulate the legal process to evade justice — our mission is to fight for the truth and recover damages for the people of Missouri.”
“China Society and CSIL appear to have the same President — a President who is also a government official in China’s legal field. The organizations’ share a president, a Chinese government official named Huang Jin, who, in addition to these (and other) presidencies, also currently works as ‘Special Counsel of the Supreme People’s Court’ and Expert Counselor of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate — the top prosecutorial agency of the People’s Republic of China.”
According to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission:
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL“CPPCC delegates attend a high-profile annual meeting to receive direction from the CCP regarding the ways its policies should be characterized to both domestic and foreign audiences. Delegates to the CPPCC serve as proxies for CCP interests by virtue of their participation in this forum, and they frequently act as interlocutors with foreign government officials, businesses and academic institutions.”
Bailey’s motion earlier on Friday argued that an amicus brief filed on Feb. 27 by The China Society of Private International Law (China Society) in defense of the Chinese government in the case of Missouri v. China should be struck from the record because the organization is allegedly a proxy for a Ministry of Foreign Affairs-run organization called the Chinese Society of International Law (CSIL).
The filing alleged that the China Society, which presents itself as an academic organization, “is actually controlled by Defendants,” i.e., the Chinese government, because China Society is led by many of the same individuals as CSIL, which was “founded by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
The DCNF also discovered that Huang apparently has several other Chinese government ties, such as being identified as a member of the CCP on China Society’s website.
The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) also identified Huang as a participant in 2020.
In addition to being identified as a CCP member by Wuhan University, where he is a faculty member, China Society’s website likewise identifies Xiao as a Chang Jiang Scholar, which is one of many so-called Chinese “talent recruitment plans.” The FBI has warned that all of China’s talent recruitment plans incentivize participants to “steal foreign technologies needed to advance China’s national, military, and economic goals,” and the Department of Defense has labeled the Chang Jiang Scholar program as posing “a threat to national security interests of the United States.”
“In other words, the purported ‘academic organization’ that seeks to file an amicus supporting Defendants is in fact directly controlled and directed by Defendants’ agents — while it seeks to argue on behalf of Defendants, who themselves have refused to appear,” the legal motion asserts. “This Court should strike or otherwise set aside the arguments of China Society as an improper attempt by a purported amicus to litigate this case on behalf of a defaulting party.”
Bailey told the DCNF that Missouri will hold the CCP accountable for “unleashing COVID-19 on the world.”
