No Justification for Stigmatizing China on COVID-19, 2020 summer,
http://www.cpifa.org/en/cms/item/view?table=book&id=310&from=singlemessage .
Huang Huikang published an article in foreign affairs journal, holding that It is an evil act to stigmatize China on COVID-19. The compensation lawsuits against China are groundless and violation of international law. They are also not conducive to the overall situation of international cooperation in fighting against COVID-19.
