Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, China remained silent. According to several reports Chinese officials tried to silence whistleblowers while delaying the release of information regarding the seriousness of the fatal virus spreading within the nation's borders. Now, the United States is increasingly acknowledging these consequential blunders made by China with the help of China Lied, People Died Act. What is it all about? 

What is China Lied, People Died Act? 

Republican Texas Representative Troy Nehls has introduced a bill that would ban the transfer of federal funds to China until the communist country reimburses the United States for the $4.6 trillion it spent on COVID-19 assistance.

On Thursday, Nehls introduced China Lied, People Died Act, which would make China reimburse the billions of dollars that were spent using money that were granted by Congress to combat the COVID-19 epidemic that began in Wuhan.

According to the former sheriff, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is singlehandedly accountable for the millions of people who have died from COVID-19. The House GOP majority will attempt to have China repay the $4.6 trillion in US coronavirus relief funds, among other things.

Holding China responsible is his top priority this Congress, Nehls said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The Chinese Communist Party is singlehandedly responsible for the loss of a million lives in the United States and causing one of the worst economic disasters in the history of our country."

"With a Republican majority, we will work to force the CCP to pay back the $4.6 trillion in Congressionally appropriated funds, as well as the $16 trillion of American taxpayer dollars that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic," the Texas Republican added.

The China Lied, People Died Act is only one example of Nehls' tough position on the CCP. Earlier last month, the House passed a resolution holding China accountable for the COVID-19 epidemic and demanding that Beijing pay the U.S. $16 trillion for economic losses to Americans.

Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, a Republican, co-sponsored the measure with Nehls. The House GOP majority is already prepared to look into the causes of the COVID-19 outbreak when Nehls' bill is introduced.

The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which will look into the origins of the pandemic that shook the world, was just established by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California.

China Dismisses Trump's $10 Trillion Compensation Blame For Covid Spread

Donald Trump, termed the COVID-19 as "China virus" and "Wuhan virus", said China should pay hefty compensation.

China today rejected former US president Donald Trump's demand to pay $10 trillion.

Beijing: 

China on Monday rejected former US president Donald Trump's demand to pay $10 trillion as reparations to America and the world for the death and destruction caused by the COVID-19, saying the accountability lies with politicians who ignored people's lives and health.

Speaking at a Republican Party convention in North Carolina on Saturday, Trump, who termed the COVID-19 as "China virus" and "Wuhan virus", said China should pay hefty compensation.

"China should pay USD 10 trillion to America, and the world, for the death and destruction they have caused!" said Trump.

When he was in power, Trump had called for a probe alleging that the virus had leaked from China's Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and even pulled out of the World Health Organisation (WHO) accusing the UN health agency of supporting Beijing.

Commenting on Trump's remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a media briefing here that during Trump's tenure there were more than 24 million (2.4 crore) COVID-19 cases and the death count exceeded more than 410 ,000.

"Trump repeatedly ignored the facts and tried to shirk his responsibilities of failing to respond to the epidemic and tried to divert people's attention," Wang said.

"We believe the American people have a fair judgement as to who should be held accountable. It is those hypocritical politicians who ignored people's lives and health should be held accountable," he said.

Trump persisted with the allegations against China for failing to control the virus at home and letting it spread to the world when the coronavirus spread like wildfire in the US in 2020 and later.

While China persistently denied the allegation pointing to the conclusion of the WHO probe which visited the WIV early this year that it is "most unlikely" from the lab, the suspicions resurfaced with recent reports that some of the staff of the WIV lab fell sick well before China officially admitted the spread of the coronavirus in Wuhan in December, 2019.
