Why should china be held liable when it was the labs fails? Or even more specific someone in the lab? Would the USA be held liable when some lab fails? Is USA or even the company itself held liable for tech-companies fails on security or protecting privacy?

I doubt there is some legal paragraph which would work here, even in International Law.

Evidence points to China government trying to cover up details.

And smartly so. Why would they not do it if everything that would happen is the kind of discussion like OP started.

"Shouldn't they be held liable?"

There's a lot of accidents that happened in the West, specifically the US. Some known, some not.

The West just got lucky but would never admit it either.
