Lawsuits relating to virus have almost zero chance of success, says expert
A California senator described China as a respectable nation and said that it is a huge mistake to allow US citizens to sue China over coronavirus damage as she defended the nation in a firm speech against a bill authorizing such a move.
Where I live, we hold China as a potential trading partner, as a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time, and as a country growing into a respectable nation amongst other nations, Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein told her fellow lawmakers during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on Thursday.
I deeply believe that. Ive been to China a number of times. Ive studied the issues… the United States has the most to lose by permitting civil lawsuits against China for harms arising from COVID-19, she added, referring to testimony from recent committee hearings.
