Any State could prosecute the US scientists for attempted murder. If the AG of any State is willing to endure the tongue-lashing from CNN, Google and Facebook, that state could prosecute and imprison.
The problem is with the perpetrators who are citizens of Communist China.
Communism has long carried a streak of racism in its ideology, holding that some races are superior to others. The Eastern Front of WWIi was largely a test of two competing theories as to who were the Master Race. Neither Nazi Germany nor Soviet Russia would give up their version of the belief so they killed each other by the millions, believing the true Master Race would survive.
Despite Richard Nixon's best efforts at concealment, Communist China holds that the Han Chinese race are superior to other races.
Therefore, giving the Communist Party the tools to craft gain-of-function in viruses openly invites them to kill off the non-master races with high-lethality bioweapons. Until Han Chinese begin dying like flies at a pesticide spill, the Party will believe they are doing themselves a favor by all this killing.
The smart move is to demand adherence to arms control treaties and impose trade sanctions when the Party refuses. Letting them remain in power carries the danger that in the process of destroying themselves, the Communists will take the rest of us with them.
In what universe do "communists" permit the generation of a billionaire class together with low-wage workers--for decades? Clearly China is a country that is predominantly capitalist together with some important socialist features, but the immense control of citizens is a country evolving into fascism, which I regard as a METHODOLOGY rather than an IDEOLOGY.
Jon, unfortunately Marxism-Leninism has flexible facts that bend with every paradigm shift. So yes, the only difference between Communist China and Fascist Italy is that Mussolini's jackbooted thugs broke people's ribs then poured castor bean oil down their noses with rubber hoses, causing them diarrheic cramps with broken ribs, but China prefers selling people's organs before or during their execution. Both are totalitarian cults. Since neither considers objective facts to be factual, their leaders could care less what we think of them, unless we owe them money.
