Germany Tells China To Pay €149Bn Bill Over Covid-19 Damages.

Germany chancellor, Angela Merkel, issues China a €149Bn (equivalent to £130bn) invoice, over responsibility for the cause of the global coronavirus pandemic.

Germany has sparked outrage in China after a major newspaper put together a £130bn invoice that Beijing “owes” Berlin following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The bill list includes a €27 billion charge for lost tourism revenue, up to €7.2 billion for the German film industry, a million euros an hour for German airline Lufthansa and €50 billion for German small businesses.
