Drop me a PM and expound on what you mean here ---that's if you don't already have unfair preconceived notions toward me, like a few others here have shown. Quote
OftenWrong Posted April 19, 2020 Report Posted April 19, 2020 No way. If Mr. Trudeau even makes the slightest negative comment to China now, my jaw will hit the floor at a thousand miles an hour. He is already gone in hiding re China over Meng Wujing, or whomever her name is. Hua Wei CFO I think she was. Well at least with the NHL shut down I don't need to see the blazing HuaWei logo burning a hole in the phoshpho on my old TV set, when the cowards and traitors to Don Cherry are there without him, calling him racist and kissing Chinese bung hole. So there is a plus. Quote

SpankyMcFarland Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 I think it’s difficult for people to sue foreign governments. Think of the potential litigation that could occur over various unfortunate historical events. 1 Quote

Think of the potential litigation that could occur over various unfortunate historical events. Providing evidence as to tort requires establishing on a balance of probabilities a specific Chinese decision or decisions directly killed people. That would be difficult to prove. Secondly even if you could get a judgement how would it be enforced? As well other governments should be partially liable as well for not properly preparing pandemic plans after Sars. Lawyers like to exploit tragedies for free advertising. My beloved profession can suck at times. Edited April 20, 2020 by Rue Quote

It only happens in rare scenarios, and this is indeed a rare scenario or an 'enumerated exception' at least. That's the criterion needed, for USA citizens to be able to legitimately sue China in this case. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/part-IV/chapter-97 Edited April 20, 2020 by Tdot Quote
Moonbox Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 What do you think happens if US citizens sue China? Nothing. This topic is absurd. I'm not defending China, but the idea that there's some way that any sort of meaningful law suit can be brought to bear against China is about as likely as the US being held accountable for war crimes and errant drone strikes.
