"American lawyer Larry Klayman has filed a USD 20 trillion lawsuit against China for the creation and the release of the novel coronavirus that has infected more than 334,000 people globally." Since then the total number of cases worldwide has reached over 2.4 million and more than 165 thousand people have died. With over 45,000 the US has the highest number of deaths in the world. As anger has mounted against China for rising death levels and lost livelihoods the number of class action suits have multiplied. "The European Union's competition chief told the Financial Times that member countries should buy stakes in companies to counter the threat of Chinese takeovers, with her comments coming as the EU formulates plans to protect its businesses amid coronavirus outbreak." "It's very important that one is aware that there is a real risk that businesses that are vulnerable can be the object of a takeover," said Margrethe Vestager. "The situation now really underlines the need so we work really intensively." The Indian government has tightened its policy on foreign direct investment (FDI) to prevent "opportunistic takeovers/acquisitions of Indian companies due to the current Covid-19 pandemic". It is specifically targeted at countries with land borders with India, meaning China. "French virologist and medicine Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier has made explosive revelations regarding the origin of the coronavirus, saying that the virus was manufactured in a laboratory in China's Wuhan." He said that "the presence of elements of HIV and germ of malaria" is because of an attempt by the Chinese to create a vaccine against HIV. The head of the research laboratory in Wuhan Yuan Zhiming dismissed accusations as "conspiracy theory" and insisted "there's no way this virus came from us". France has rejected the suggestion of the virus coming from the Wuhan lab which it helped to set up. Pictures released by the official China Daily in 2018 showed broken seals on one of the refrigerators in the lab. The tweet was later deleted. As is usual the Chinese government has reacted with lies and violence. Many of those who exposed the true extent of infections in China have disappeared. "US President Donald Trump has warned China that it should face consequences if it was "knowingly responsible" for the spread of the novel coronavirus, upping the ante on Beijing over its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. "..China's initial, weeks-long coverup helped spawn the greatest global disaster of our time, sending the world hurtling toward a recession," wrote Prof Brahma Chellaney. "The pandemic has highlighted that only by loosening China's grip on global supply chains -- beginning with the pharmaceutical sector -- can the world be kept safe from Beijing's machinations." The Beijing government can claim sovereign immunity but if a US court orders damages against the Communist Party it may force the US government to seize Chinese assets in the US. With instant retaliation from China. Any destruction of China will be great for India.
