Andrew Bailey, the Missouri Attorney General, won a significant legal case against the People's Republic of China related to the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 7, 2025, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr., ruled in favor of Missouri, issuing a historic $24 billion default judgment against China. This case, originally filed in April 2020 by Bailey's predecessor, Eric Schmitt, accused the Chinese government of causing and exacerbating the COVID-19 pandemic by withholding information about the virus's existence and spread and hoarding personal protective equipment (PPE), such as masks, during the early stages of the outbreak.

The lawsuit specifically claimed that China's actions, including monopolistic hoarding of PPE, harmed Missourians by causing direct economic losses, such as reduced tax revenue and increased state expenditures. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals had previously, in January 2024, revived the PPE hoarding claim after most other allegations were dismissed due to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, allowing the case to proceed to trial. China did not appear in court to defend itself, leading to a default judgment. Bailey has stated his intention to enforce the ruling by seizing Chinese-owned assets, including farmland in Missouri, to collect the damages.

This victory is notable as it marks Missouri as the first state in the U.S. to successfully secure such a judgment against China for its role in the pandemic, with the $24 billion award being described as six times larger than the previous largest judgment in Missouri history.
