China Being Sued for 20 Trill
US probably just looking for cash to pay off their debts.
Don't blame them to be honest. If China withheld it from the world and allowed diseased citizens to leave the country, there should be certainly some sort of reparations.
I have to agree CB,if someone does an injustice to someone else they can litigate or sue for compensation...Not turning this into a China hate thread ..only pointing out that on a global scale they also have a duty of care to their own people and to people who visit their country...I would say in a normal court of law they could be found negligent and in breach of their duty of care,,,
Can I ask this ....
How would they have known early on it was any different from any flu season
It is quite similar in many ways ...with the amount of people coming and going from China by the time they knew it was too late
Haters got to hate I guess
No that easy Hap..the CCP was warned by one of their own highly respected Drs how deadly this could be and they chose to act very slowly given the evidence ...the Dr working on it that warned them subsequently died....not hating ...stating facts,,,...
I would have a agreed with you a few weeks ago TT but after seeing how slow every other country has responded (except for Taiwan and a few others) I can't now.
I think China has done a lot of positive things once they were aware of the gravity of the situation, we scoffed at how draconian their restrictions were but we're slowly emulating China's responses.:
* Building Huoshenshan hospital in 10 days equipped with ct scanning; x ray, er unit etc, making sure the hospital was logistically convenient. All parameters were calcuated.
* QR code scanning for every citizen
* Tempertaures taken at most places of gathering
*Scanning of QR codes and scanning ID cards (we and even me would normally cry foul but at this time it is crucial)
* sitting side by side instead of face to face
* mandatory face masks
* Live Covid 19 App udates of exact locations of positive cases (from citizens scanning their personal details everywhere they go)
I think its incredible
i could go on and on but this isnt just China, its Taiwan; Japan, Korea etc
