After spending half a day exploring the surroundings of Qingmu University and Yanjing University, Ji Yuan and Xiao Xiao were exhausted and found a small restaurant nearby to have lunch.
"Boss, I'll have a serving of braised beef with potatoes, a serving of garlic pepper salt fried ribs, a serving of steamed pork, and a seaweed egg soup!" Ji Yuan glanced at the extensive menu on the wall and quickly ordered several dishes.
Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you like to eat?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head. "This is enough; I can't eat any more."
Ji Yuan didn't insist further and led her to a good spot to sit down before starting to play on his phone.
The small restaurant wasn't very big; it was a typical hole-in-the-wall, but it was quite nicely decorated. Despite being in the bustling city center, it gave off a serene and tranquil vibe. Many people were already eating, and aside from the sounds of chewing, there were only low murmurs of conversation.
Suddenly, everything seemed to hit a pause; all the noise vanished without a trace. The restaurant was unusually quiet, with only the low-key television playing in the background.
At that moment, almost everyone was staring blankly at the TV, unable to snap out of their daze.
As they watched, someone suddenly began to cry silently, overwhelmed with emotion!
On the screen was a live broadcast of a press conference where China was addressing reporters regarding the chip embargo and supply cuts imposed by Western countries.
This small restaurant was just a microcosm; in fact, at this moment, countless screens across streets and alleys had many people intently watching everything unfold.
China is a resilient country; even with recent trade conflicts and an unfavorable economic situation, it remains unbreakable as a nation and as a people.
But the chip supply cutoff is equivalent to locking the future of national technology! China is not afraid of difficult times; what we fear is national backwardness. The lesson that being behind means getting beaten has long been taught by history and is deeply engraved in our bones.
In the crowd, a well-dressed Spokesperson stood on stage, signaling to the reporters that they could begin asking questions. A white female reporter from Australia was the first to stand up, disregarding any politeness in her questioning, and sharply asked, "Western audiences want to know how China views the chip supply cutoff orchestrated by America?"
The Spokesperson did not mind her rudeness, paused briefly, and smiled as he replied, "We respect the decisions of other governments and the freedom of State-Owned Enterprises. However, if they intend to use chips to threaten or extort China, then I think they are overestimating themselves."
"???"
A look of confusion appeared on the female reporter's face, but she quickly dismissed it and said, "Has your country already found other cooperation channels?" Her tone even carried a hint of mockery.
There are many technology companies worldwide capable of chip manufacturing, but when it comes to cutting-edge chips, there are very few. Once chip supplies are insufficient, a country's scientific research efforts will inevitably suffer a severe blow!
Before the Spokesperson could respond, she continued on her own, "As far as I know, many countries have suggested that as long as your country fully accepts the new trade terms proposed by America, the chip supply to China will immediately return to normal."
This female reporter from Australia was clearly a prominent figure with sharp words; her remarks seemed aimed at exposing all of China's vulnerabilities for the world to see. It can be said that from this arrogant Australian reporter's attitude, it is evident that Western countries have mastered the use of chips as a tactic!
In their eyes, as long as the chip supply cut was invoked, China would immediately have to back down. They were eagerly anticipating China's furious reaction. Many Chinese onlookers watched the Australian journalist jumping around, their expressions shifting from pale to flushed, while foreign reporters wore mocking smiles, some even chuckling quietly, their eyes filled with expectation, ready to see China make a fool of itself. Only a few journalists from friendly nations felt a pang of sympathy; they wanted to help but felt powerless. Even if they mobilized their entire country's resources, there was little they could do in this major power conflict. Even if they expressed support on fishing vessels, the West, which held the discourse power over global fishing vessels, could easily suppress their voices, making no waves at all.
"Is Australia eager to be America's vanguard, serving as a forward scout for America?"
"It's all America's fault for not daring to confront us directly and instead playing dirty by encircling us globally!"
"Give up on fantasies and prepare for battle!"
"Ah, it's tough in the field of scientific research; America has seized our Achilles' heel."
"The threshold for chips is high, and the technical requirements are even higher. Without strong research capabilities and advanced manufacturing, it's hard to realize Huaxia chips."
"No matter how difficult it is, we must grit our teeth and push through! America has prohibited us from doing many things, yet haven't we done them one by one? Tighten our belts; it's not as hard as it was for the older generation..."
The earlier silence was gone as everyone engaged in fervent discussion. A few indignant men were so enraged that their noses turned red; they clenched their fists and slammed them on the table. Fortunately, the table was sturdy enough to withstand it without any issues. Observing their demeanor, many speculated that they were recently retired military personnel. In the past, a reporter stationed in China would have been kicked out for daring to embarrass a speaker face-to-face.
However, today feels somewhat strange. The spokesperson merely glanced at the energetic Australian Journalist, raised an eyebrow, and pulled out the bottom document from a stack of papers, smiling as they said, "Since this Australian Journalist mentioned it, I would like to announce a recent breakthrough in an important project in our country."
Once everyone's attention was captured, the spokesperson scanned the crowd with a hint of mockery and disdain in their expression.
"Recently, our country's technology research and development department has achieved a breakthrough in chip technology. Starting today, we will establish a Chip Research Team led by the government to guide and support the production and market deployment of chips."
These calm yet powerful words fell like a boulder into the hearts of the audience, creating endless ripples, much like a hurricane sweeping through a forest, startling countless birds into flight.
It felt like a sharp sword piercing the hearts of foreign observers, causing their hearts to ache with shock. Many locals were stunned, struggling to digest this astonishing news, tears welling up in their eyes.
Once they confirmed that the news was true, many were left speechless and began to cry out loud. They then frantically called friends and shared this shocking news with their loved ones on social media.
