#1: U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham told the Fox Television’s “Hannity” program that China should pay for its response to the coronavirus that enabled the contagion to spread around the world.
“If it were up to me, the whole world should send China a bill for the pandemic,” Graham said. “This is the third pandemic to come out of China and they come from these wet markets where they have bats and monkeys with the virus — carrying the virus — intermingled with the food supply. Yeah, I’d make China pay big time.” (Fox News)
#2: Cardinal Charles Maung Bo of Myanmar wrote an article to criticize the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for hiding the Wuhan Pneumonia epidemic information which led to the worldwide outbreak.
In his article, Cardinal Maung Bo stated that China hid the information from the Chinese people, which the international community was strongly against and it should be held accountable for legal and financial liabilities. He quoted the report from the University of Southampton that China could have reduced its infection count by 66 percent, 86 percent, or 95 percent, if it had taken proper actions 1 week, 2 weeks, or 3 weeks earlier.

与中国友好的缅甸，其枢机主教貌波（Charles Maung Bo）撰文，指北京政府隐瞒武汉肺炎疫情，又打压吹哨人，以致疫情蔓延，须为此负责，要求中国国家主席习近平及他领导的中共向所有人道歉和赔偿，注销其他国家的债务，以支付有关国家应对疫情的费用。
身兼亚洲主教团协会主席的貌波2日在宗教网站天亚社撰文，这位曾获教宗方济各赞扬关心人权的枢机指责中共处理疫情时犯了道德过失，是天主教高层自疫情爆发以来对中国政权开的第一枪，亦是首个亚洲国家重要人物就疫情批评习近平政府。
貌波在文章指出，在疫情一事上，中国把世人蒙在鼓里，惹起国际反对，并循此追究法律责任和索偿。他引述英国南安普敦大学的流行病学模型指出，如果中国能早一周、两周或三周采取负责任的行动，受病毒感染的人数将分别减少66%、86%和95%。但中共的失策引发武汉肺炎蔓延全球，造成数以千计人命丧失。
