That's how the West has been deindustrialized the last 40 years. Traitors in our own Gov, top Banks and Corps. ChiCOMS happy to bribe and pay off anyone they can . It's their way of life. They are very different then us.In Australia we have our share of politicians and iron ore magnates selling their souls to Chinese interests.
The Chinese bribe them with cash, deals and perks.
The usual slanted bs.....“I’m just so grateful we did that for them because we would be stuck without China now.”...
Instead of suing China, you can try shorting China, by going to play in their financial market,and short their derivatives,https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe...s-says-top-uk-think-tank-20200405-p54h5b.html

London: China should be sued under international law for trillions of dollars for its initial cover-up of the coronavirus pandemic which has caused more than 60,000 deaths and trillions of dollars in economic damage, a new report says.
The report said damages should be for at least the £3.2 ($6.5 trillion) being spent by G7 nations propping up their domestic economies as governments forced their citizens to stay at home so they could try and contain the disease's spread.

And it singled out Prime Minister Scott Morrison's unprecedented $130 billion in government support for workers and businesses, saying Australians too were owed at least that amount in compensation.
According to the report, Coronavirus Compensation? by conservative London think tank The Henry Jackson Society, China could be sued under 10 possible legal avenues, including the International Health Regulations, which were beefed up after the SARS outbreak, which China also tried to cover up.
The report said had China provided accurate information at an early juncture, "the infection would not have left China."
China only reported the disease to the WHO on December 31 and said there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission.
including Li Wenliang, who were reprimanded for raising the alert. Some were confident the disease was spreading between humans before this date.
Reporting by the South China Morning Post has cited Chinese government documents that identified nearly 200 cases of coronavirus by December 27.
The International Health Regulations says nations must monitor and share data related to the spread, severity, and transmission of any pathogens that are potentially transmissible internationally.
The Henry Jackson Society said China had done the opposite, by covering up data and punishing doctors who sought to tell the truth.
It urged a coalition of countries to launch joint-action because of China's record of "responding aggressively to threats on the world stage."
"Taking action would require both courage and global solidarity," the report said.
"In its early response, Wuhan and Hubei breached [International Health] Regulations...responsibility goes to the top of the regime.
"It appears more than probable that the Chinese Communist Party’s response to COVID-19 was in breach of international law," it said.
The report said that while levelling a claim of dispute under the International Health Regulations would be unprecedented, there was an initial framework within the structures of the WHO for bringing such a suit.
Other options could involve using the International Court of Justice and Permanent Court of Arbitration, The World Trade Organisation, bilateral investment treaties and even the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Domestic courts and Chinese courts could also be possible avenues, the report said.
Report co-author Matthew Henderson said the Chinese people were also the victims of their government's negligence.
"They are innocent victims, like the rest of us. This is the fault of the CCP," he said.
"The Chinese Communist Party has learnt no lessons from its failure in the SARS epidemic.
"Their repeated blunders, lies and disinformation, from the start of the COVID-19 epidemic, have already had far more deadly consequences.
"By computing the cost of damage caused to advanced economies and assembling a series of possible legal processes to which the rules-based order can have recourse, we offer a sense of how the free world might seek recompense for the appalling harm the CCP has done," he said.
What can you sue them for? They've already made trillions by copying everything they did not make and reselling it all.
Can we sue them for a fake virus? Why didn't we sue them for the fake material goods?
And where would "the world" sue China for the virus? In what court? And if found guilty, how would they pay up?
It is silly nonsense. We should forget about suing China. and just Nuke them. There's a solution, yeah?
I mean, who the hell would come to China's defense if the entire world just dropped their nuclear load on the place?
I'm just pontificating, mind you, because nuclear shit is bad. WAY worse bad than a virus.
Anyways, onward!
