Missouri won a $24 billion lawsuit against China on Friday for its role in the COVID-19 pandemic after none of its defendants appeared in court.
U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh Jr. ordered China to pay Missouri $24,488,825,457 "at a rate of 3.91 percent, compounded annually."
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey told the Daily Caller it was "no surprise" the Chinese Communist Party didn't appear in court and instead dispatched "proxy organizations" to litigate, "like the Chinese Society of Private International Law rather than appearing in court to answer for their actions."
