Hoover Institution scholar Gordon Chang observed:
| "The case against China rests not only on how the coronavirus came to first infect humansâsomething scientists will argue about for yearsâbut also what Chinese ruler Xi Jinping did once the pathogen crippled his country. In short, he took steps he knew or had to know would spread the disease beyond his borders.
His actions make the infections and deaths outside China deliberate, effectively a âbiological weapon.â His actions taken together constitute both a âgenocideâ and a âcrime against humanityâ under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.[1] |
