'The Chinese government, when it's acting in China, does not have any affirmative duties under United States law,' one legal expert told Newsweek.
The lawsuits will already face a substantial barrier in attempting to bring the Chinese into U.S. courts, explained Chimène Keitner, a professor of international law at the University of California, Hastings College of Law, and a former State Department Civil Service employee.
Another popular exemption cited in these suits would require China to have a mandatory duty to issue specific warnings about the virus. Keitner said she does not believe this claim will find warm reception with the courts, either. This photo taken on April 15, 2020, shows a worker wearing a face mask as he throws ice into a pool with fish at a shop at the Wuhan Baishazhou Market in Wuhan in China's central Hubei province.Kent Schmidt, a California attorney who specializes in business and class-action litigation, noted another hurdle, expressing doubt that a federal judge will let any of the lawsuits represent a class as numerous as they are desiring. He said the chance of this was"absolutely zero.
"There's no doubt China bears a huge deal of blame in the moral sense, and responsibility in the international sense, for not containing this outbreak sooner," said Keitner."But U.S. courts are not in a position to provide individual redress to those harmed here." But Klayman claimed he has"whistleblowers with firsthand knowledge" of China's involvement in the viral outbreak who are currently residing in Israel and the United States and who can help substantiate this charge.
