The interesting question raised by Missouri's lawsuit against China's Communist Party is whether the Federal Sovereign Immunities Act (FISA) covers ruling political parties (as opposed to the governments they run) or not. Could have big implications. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Sovereign_Immunities_Act

Could someone who didn't like President Trump's policies, but could not sue the United States due to sovereign immunity, sue the Republican Party instead? Certainly not apples to applies, vis-a-vis the CCP, but it's a question I'd want to ask.

Another question it raises: what assets can the Chinese Communist Party be said to own, and thus be liable for seizure - as distinct from assets the Chinese government, which has sovereign immunity, owns.

I suspect there are very few assets the CCP formally owns that the US could get its hands on. Of course, it may effectively control assets the Chinese government owns, but then where does that leave sovereign immunity?

I am not a lawyer, I have no expertise in this area, I'm just curious about the answers to what seem like logical questions. Perhaps someone can respond with the answers.
