The new crown spread from Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, to the world, causing an epidemic that has been going on for more than a year, and no one knows when the pandemic will be over. In the wake of the devastation, many countries are considering holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable. Missouri is the first state to file a lawsuit against the Chinese Communist Party. Attorney General Eric Schmitt announced on May 18 that the lawsuit has been successfully filed against the three major Chinese Communist Party defendants.

According to state media, Schmitt announced in a statement that the complaint had been successfully served and said the process underscored the difficulty of the lawsuit, “I filed the lawsuit to hold the Chinese Communist Party and the authorities accountable for the pandemic that took lives, destroyed businesses, damaged the economy, and much more (harm). Providing services to these entities is an important step in the process.”
Schmidt said his office “has been relentlessly shuttling through the complexities of international law” to serve legal papers, ultimately serving the three major defendants, the Chinese Communist Party, the Wuhan Virus Institute and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with pleadings and other documents via email.
Previously, Schmidt’s office had attempted to serve court documents on the three Chinese defendants through the Hague Convention, but the Chinese side objected. Schmidt then obtained permission from the federal court to deliver the pleadings by e-mail.
His office served the CCP, the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research and the Chinese Academy of Sciences by e-mail after its first attempt to provide papers through the Hague Convention, an international agreement that governs relations between nations.
Schmidt said his office is working through diplomatic channels to deal with the Chinese Communist Party on the court papers. He did not, however, provide a timeline for future litigation in the statement.
Missouri filed the lawsuit last April, holding the Chinese Communist Party responsible for the global spread of the outbreak and seeking damages for the “enormous loss of life, human suffering and economic disruption” caused by the virus. The defendants include the Chinese government, the Communist Party of China, the National Health Commission, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research, among others.
The suit says that “shocking deception, concealment, malfeasance and inaction” by the Chinese Communist Party authorities led to the pandemic.
Specifically, the suit states, “In the critical weeks of the initial outbreak, the CCP authorities deceived the public, suppressed critical information, arrested whistleblowers, denied human-to-human transmission in the face of mounting evidence, (CCP) sabotaged critical medical research, exposed millions of people to the virus, and even stockpiled medical personal protective equipment, resulting in a pandemic that could have been prevented and could have been prevented. a global pandemic that could have been avoided and could have been prevented.”
Schmidt said at the time that the CCP’s poor response in stopping the spread of the virus had resulted in Missouri residents suffering potentially tens of billions of dollars in economic losses: “The impact of the virus is evident in Missouri, where thousands of people have been infected, many have died, flesh and blood has been separated, small businesses have closed, and people living paycheck to paycheck are struggling to earn food “The Chinese Communist Party “must be held accountable for its actions.
In the year since the lawsuit was filed, Missouri has been actively pursuing the case. Schmidt has said, “Our allegations are all very specific. We are confident in the presentation of the facts, the longevity of the litigation and the ability of our legal team.”
