Presidential commission to hold CCP accountable for COVID origins and damages
Navarro proposes a presidential commission or select congressional committee to investigate COVID origins at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and pursue means of collecting trillions in damages from the CCP.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 26 (Trade) — The Case for Fair Trade (Navarro): hold the CCP accountable for the COVID-19 virus (asserted as almost certainly genetically engineered from Wuhan Institute of Virology) via presidential commission or select congressional committee investigating origins, economic/human costs, and possible means of collecting damages from the CCP likely rising to trillions of dollars.
Undo plan
1) Separate scientific origin investigation (intelligence IC assessment / HHS) from trade-decoupling and damages-seizure agendas.
2) Reject asset-seizure or reparations schemes lacking international-law process and due process for private Chinese holders of U.S. assets.
3) If a commission exists, cabin remit to evidence standards and bar automatic trade penalties pending findings.
4) Preserve WHO/scientific cooperation channels needed for pandemic preparedness.
5) Verify: published evidence standards; no automatic OFAC seizures from commission alone.
