如何看待美国密苏里州政府正式起诉中国政府和中共？

Missouri became the first state in the nation to file a lawsuit against Beijing over its response to the coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China, and has since infected more than 2.5 million people worldwide.
The lawsuit, filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (R) in the Eastern District of Missouri, seeks damages to make up for “the enormous loss of life, human suffering, and economic turmoil” resulting from the pandemic.
“COVID-19 has done irreparable damage to countries across the globe, causing sickness, death, economic disruption, and human suffering,” Schmitt said in a statement. “The Chinese government lied to the world about the danger and contagious nature of COVID-19, silenced whistleblowers, and did little to stop the spread of the disease. They must be held accountable for their actions.”
Schmitt referenced the rising number of coronavirus cases in Missouri, where more than 6,000 people have been infected and more than 220 have died as of Tuesday afternoon.
“In Missouri, the impact of the virus is very real — thousands have been infected and many have died, families have been separated from dying loved ones, small businesses are shuttering their doors, and those living paycheck to paycheck are struggling to put food on their table,” said Schmitt.
Beijing has come under withering criticism from lawmakers in Washington and across the U.S. over allegations that it downplayed the initial extent of the outbreak in China, with many alleging that earlier notifications could have better enabled other countries to prepare.
Nearly two dozen Republican lawmakers requested Monday that the Trump administration bring a case against China to the International Court of Justice, and several private groups have initiated their own suits against China over the coronavirus.
Besides damages, Missouri’s suit seeks to hold Beijing officially accountable for its alleged concealment of the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent handling of the outbreak within its borders.
“An appalling campaign of deceit, concealment, misfeasance, and inaction by Chinese authorities unleashed this pandemic,” the suit reads.
“During the critical weeks of the initial outbreak, Chinese authorities deceived the public, suppressed crucial information, arrested whistleblowers, denied human-to-human transmission in the face of mounting evidence, destroyed critical medical research, permitted millions of people to be exposed to the virus, and even hoarded personal protective equipment — thus causing a global pandemic that was unnecessary and preventable," it continues.
China has dismissed criticism over its handling of the coronavirus, calling broadsides from U.S. lawmakers unhelpful.
“The international community can overcome the virus only if it can stay united and cooperate to make concerted efforts,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told Fox News, which was the first to report on Missouri’s lawsuit. “Attacking and discrediting other countries simply wastes time and cannot save lost lives.”

我估计如果能穿越时空，你能看到未来，估计三个月后的情景，会让现在的你大吃一惊。这一波加速算是油门踩到底，又喷满一罐氮气了。
我相信，三个月后，全世界都会彻底孤立中国。

反共要反，该说还是要说
这个更大的意义是甩锅推卸责任，因为中共做的再差，都不是美国这个最早对中国封关的国家感染了七十万以上的理由。明明是美国政府不够强力，不愿意对加拿大欧洲封关，CDC权限太大等一系列脑残操作造成的。日韩可以怪中共，美国真正怪中共的也就是最早期的输入病例，剩下的都是自己作的。
不要只觉得中国官员会转移矛盾，全世界其实都一个德行

我是樂見大家起訴中共的，但你要説"几乎未采取什么行动来遏制病毒扩散“就很難入罪了，因爲他們的確封了武漢。如果給我估計會説得詳細一點，”幾乎沒有采取行動遏制病毒在國際社會裏的擴散，并且隱瞞死亡數額和瘟疫嚴重程度“之類的。
说实在话，象征意义大于实际意义。
不过如果真能胜诉，让美国法院冻结一部分中共在美资产也是极好的。

我想知道，这种层面的上诉，被告是谁？一尊？如果要应诉，要么一尊亲临，要么委托人应诉。虽然知道不现实，我倒是真想看看审判他的情况是什么样的。
虽然感觉不太可能了，但还是迫切希望能有实锤
如果有实锤，那可以一锤子锤死中共了，起诉都省了
各国快点好起来拎锤子上吧，这几个月天天是桂枝自卖自夸傻逼新闻我大脑都要被强奸降级了
偏偏家里人还很喜欢看和讨论这些东西，就这些逻辑都不自洽的东西为啥真的会有人信啊我佛了

恭请桂国教育部马上取消对所有在Missouri的高等教育机构的认证 禁止Missouri州的大学来华招生 中学老师 (包括国际班 留学班等)和大学老师落实责任制 及时发现 举报自己班级的学生填报外国学校是否在Missouri境内
加速 加速
加速 加速
病毒来自武汉实验室，中共隐瞒疫情，这些都是坊间一直说的事实，现在唯一的问题就是很难获取到证据，如果有切实的证据，估计会有更多国家起诉中共。
