Schmitt has reportedly condemned China over the past several years, but had previously looked at partnering with them while he was a state senator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be a player again. We need to invest in our future and our infrastructure,\u201d said Schmitt. \u201cWe have a location and transportation assets that can put us on the map again and improve our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he first filed a lawsuit last year against the CCP and the Wuhan Lab over COVID-19, he allegedly tried to increase exports and foreign trade with China in 2011. However, when his office was questioned, they denied Schmitt has helped China and called the claim \u201claughable.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ICYMI: Attorney General Schmitt joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TuckerCarlson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TuckerCarlson<\/a> to talk about his lawsuit against the Chinese government \u2013 read more about the suit: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YXJx3tlHOG\">https:\/\/t.co\/YXJx3tlHOG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MOLeg?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MOLeg<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yz1XHbTHaS\">pic.twitter.com\/yz1XHbTHaS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Attorney General Eric Schmitt (@AGEricSchmitt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AGEricSchmitt\/status\/1252815123258814466?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the meantime, Schmitt said he filed the suit to hold the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese authorities accountable for their role in the COVID-19 pandemic. \u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic, which has taken lives, ruined businesses, destroyed economies, and more.
