There's trillions of dollars of potential damages at stake. Even if this was a Chernobyl type disaster due to mismanagement and negligence, the CCP will be on the hook, and they are all too aware of it. IMHO this debate is healthy & necessary.
- dazsnow 5y agoWhat outcomes are you expecting? The CCP are going to accept blame on behalf of some lab technicians and pay the world trillions in compensation?
- mam3 5y agoYeah you think the CCP is going to pay anything even if its their fault ? Thats a whole other level of delusion
- smaryjerry 5y agoOn the international scale almost all things happen by force. They wouldn’t pay anything voluntarily but getting the world united against you means tariffs, limits on exports, etc. it doesn't help that they are already known to lie even to their own people on things like pollution or imprison dissidents.
- jacknews 5y agoBut the actual origin is not necessarily the most important point. I think there's already some evidence that China acted, at best, negligently, and at worst, nefariously, in the early days of covid, wrt disclosure, alerting the world, etc. For example, why did they still allow international fligths out of Wuhan even after they'd locked the city down?
