The Spin

Anti-China narrative

This judgment is crucial in holding China accountable for its deliberate actions that caused widespread suffering and economic devastation. China's monopolistic behavior in hoarding PPE and misleading the world about COVID directly harmed Missouri residents and businesses. The state has the right and responsibility to recover damages through available means.

Washington Examiner

Pro-China narrative

The lawsuit lacks any basis in law or international precedent and represents a politically motivated attack on China's sovereignty. American courts have no jurisdiction over sovereign actions taken by China during a global health crisis. Any attempt to seize Chinese assets will be met with firm reciprocal countermeasures according to international law.
