COVID-19 Lawsuit: Missouri to Seize $24 Billion Worth of Chinese-Owned Farmland in Settlement

The great state of Missouri has recently won a landmark lawsuit against China over their part in the COVID-19 mess, and is moving to seize Chinese-owned farmland in the Show-Me State to make good on the $24 billion judgement.

Fresh off winning a landmark lawsuit, Missouri is moving quickly to seize Chinese-owned farmland and other assets in a bid to collect its landmark $24 billion civil judgment against Beijing for harm caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Attorney General Andrew Bailey told Just the News.

“Missouri will start to identify and begin going to court to have court orders issued to seize those assets to make good on that judgment,” Bailey said on the “John Solomon Reports podcast this week.

As yet it’s unclear how much farmland is being seized or how it will be disposed to meet the monetary amount named in the settlement; presumably, it will be sold to American interests, and we should note that Missouri has some of the most productive arable land in the world.

Earlier this month, U.S. District Court Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr declared that China’s communist government was liable for covering up the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and had engaged in “monopolistic actions” by hoarding protective equipment (PPE). He ruled Beijing should reimburse Missouri $24 billion for harm it inflicted on the state’s residents.

“China was misleading the world about the dangers and scope of the Covid-19 pandemic,” the judge ruled. “Missouri has demonstrated that the State has suffered significant harm in the form of lost net general tax revenue the State of Missouri would have collected but-for Defendants’ hoarding of PPE,” Limbaugh add

  1. Take it all back, china has no business owning one spec of land in the United States. Bet 10/1 no Americans own land in china

  2. Good! All Chinese owned property should be seized! They never should have been able to buy any land in this country to begin with. No foreign nationals should be able to buy land in America.
