Senator Schmitt Stands Firm Against China's $50 Billion Lawsuit

Submitted by MAGA

Posted 4 hours ago

Senator Eric Schmitt has defiantly rejected a staggering $50 billion lawsuit filed against him by China, stating that it is nothing more than a retaliatory measure after his relentless efforts to expose the Chinese Communist Party’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Schmitt, representing Missouri, has been vocal about the origins of COVID-19, asserting that China deliberately concealed critical information about the virus’s spread.

He emphasized that this lawsuit is designed to intimidate him and serves as a reminder of the vulnerabilities in America’s dependence on foreign supply chains.

Earlier this year, Missouri successfully secured a $24 billion judgment against China, holding them accountable for their mishandling of the pandemic.


The senator pointed out several key failures on the part of Chinese authorities, including their decision to halt domestic flights while still allowing international travel from Wuhan as they knew the virus was spreading.

“In December of 2019, they were the largest net exporter of personal protective equipment and shifted to being the largest net importer right as they were informing the world of COVID-19,” Schmitt noted.

He highlighted the significant risks that such reliance on foreign nations poses, particularly in terms of critical goods like pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.

“This isn’t just about COVID; it’s about the national security implications of outsourcing our production to adversaries like China,” Schmitt remarked.

In his staunch defense, Schmitt affirmed he will not be cowed by these aggressive legal tactics.

“They want to silence me, but I’m not backing down,” he said, adding that he believes in the urgency of reshoring American manufacturing to ensure safety and resilience for the nation.

Schmitt’s bold stance echoes President Trump’s administration policies aimed at revamping the American economy and reducing foreign dependency.

He concluded with a powerful message to China: “We’re not scared. We know who’s responsible for this pandemic, and we will continue to hold them accountable.”

As China continues to retaliate against criticism, American politicians like Schmitt are willing to stand firm against foreign bullying, exemplifying a commitment to holding adversaries accountable on the global stage.
