US to ask CCP for a compensation pricer than Germany, Africa taking first shot at demanding accountability

During the White House Coronavirus press briefing on April 27th, a reporter said, that a majority of polls show Americans blame the CCP for the spread of the coronavirus, yet they’re taking advantage of the virus to make the world more dependent on China’s supply chains. The President was asked on how he plans to hold China accountable. US President Trump (April 27th, 2020): “There are a lot of ways you can hold them (the CCP) accountable. We’re doing very serious investigations, as you probably know. And we are not happy with China. We are not happy with that whole situation because we believe it could have been stopped at the source, it could have been stopped quickly, and it wouldn’t have spread all over the world. And we think that should have happened.” Earlier this Month, Bild, the largest German newspaper had published a bill, that called for the German government and the European Union to secure a compensation of €149 Billion (Euros), the equivalent of $163 Billion, from Beijing, as the cost of the virus to various sectors within the German economy. President Trump was asked during the press briefing, that if his administration is planning on doing the same. President Trump expressed there are many ways on doing that (making China responsible). US President Trump(April 27th, 2020): “And we’re talking about a lot more money than Germany is talking about, yeah. We haven’t determined the final amount yet. It’s very substantial. If you take a look at the world — I mean, this is worldwide damage. This is damage to the U.S., but this is damage to the world.” As the coronavirus spread makes its way to Africa, Nigeria is also taking its first shot at demanding compensation. According to a Nigerian news report from Daily Post on April 26th, a group of Nigerian lawyers is preparing their sue that demands a compensation of $200 Billion from the CCP over the effects of the coronavirus outbreak. The group of lawyers plans to first go to the Federal High Court of Nigeria and, second, to persuade the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to institute a state action against the People's Republic of China at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague.The Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Federal Republic of Nigeria will be receiving the plaint. Last week, the Australian government called for WHO to support an investigation over the origin and the spread of the CCP virus. However, the Chinese Ambassador to Australia, Cheng Jingye，however, threatened that Australia's push for an independent investigation could result in chinese consumers rejecting Australian products, or even stop them from studying or traveling to Australia. Trade Minister Simon Birmingham: “The (Australian) government has made our displeasure with those remarks (from Cheng Jingye) known, our policy positions are clear, they are based on public health principles. The least the world can expect is a transparent inquiry into the causes of COVID-19, so we can understand how best to prevent a repeat episode anytime in the future.” (video from ABC News) Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne issued a statement on April 27th that, the CCP should not have resorted to the means of “economic coercion”. The CCP’s threats have also drawn backlash from the government, the people, and the academia, who have voiced their support to the Australian government over the investigation over the CCP.
