Average payout for European deaths is 100k USD per person in most cases(eg death caused by someone else, liability payments)

250,000 x 100,000 == 25,000,000,000

On top the cost for treatments that occurred and economic losses directly related to those deaths(salaries, instances etc)

Another 25-50bn easily

On top the economic damages to the GDP, around 5 trillion in Europe

In the US you can triple those figures.

That means China owes Europe and the USA alone easily 15-20 trillion. The rest of the world will want another 10-15 trillion, so we are talking about 40 trillion debt that China needs to pay. If they fail to pay, the interest rates would pile up so quickly it'd be no fun. No fun at all.

On top, China has committed state sponsored theft of intellectual property over the last 30 years in about 10-15 trillion.

All in all China is literally broke and should no longer be recognized as a nation. We should own every single building over there and should have the right to seize assets world wide.

Or war. And this time we strike first. Up to you, Chinese.pay up, apologise or face a 188 country strong army.

Hans, 100k is very little. In the US it's not uncommon to receive upward of a million
