India Operationalizes Mountain Warriors – ITBP in Leh To Counter Chinese Build Up
The plaintiffs have sought a whopping $20 trillion, which even surpasses the Chinese GDP, claiming coronavirus is the result of a biological weapon prepared by Beijing.
They have accused China of aiding and abetting death, provision of material support to terrorists, conspiracy to cause injury and death of US citizens, negligence, wrongful death, and assault and battery.
They allege the virus had released from the Wuhan Virology Institute. The plaintiffs stated that the COVID-19 virus was “designed” by China to kill mass populations. Biological weapons were outlawed in 1925 and hence such a biological weapon is a terrorist-related weapon of mass destruction, the lawsuit mentioned.

The lead plaintiffs in the class-action suit are Buzz Photos, whose business was affected following the standstill occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic, a non-profit corporation, Freedom Watch Inc and an individual from Florida, Larry Klazman.

The complaint was earlier scheduled to be heard by the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hemant Kumar on March 24.
India Becoming ‘Dangerous’ For Protesters, Warns Amnesty International
Until 1952, the U.S. generally took the position that the immunity of foreign sovereigns was absolute. That year, the State Department took the position that it would more closely examine claims of immunity where the case involved a commercial dispute.
That led to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act in 1976, a law meant to protect foreign sovereigns from litigations. The Chinese Government is protected by the principle of sovereign immunity which is based on a shared understanding that countries will not allow their people to sue other countries if the other country disallows its people from suing the former.
The statutes are very broad and they do not require a foreign country to file a response against a complaint. So a Chinese company owned by the Government cannot be sued in the US. However there is a slight exception to the rule where the companies are organizations are owned by individuals in which case the US courts can trace the actual owner and the principle of sovereign defence will not apply. But none of this would have any application to a suit against the Chinese Government.
