Lin Sanqi began to think in his mind that Americans have always been extremely arrogant.
But this time the Americans are so enthusiastic and positive. Do they really regard Lin Sanqi as a friend, or do they regard him as a fool?
Lin Sanqi couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories in his mind.
It is not uncommon to hear news reports about China's top scientists going to the United States and then dying in a foreign country.
Even more conspiracy-theory-speaking, a Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared in the vast ocean with no one on board and no bodies found. It is said that this was because there were more than 20 elite Chinese chip experts on the plane who were returning to China, and then they disappeared along with the plane.
In a word: Never trust the moral integrity of Americans. It’s better to believe that a sow can climb a tree.
Thinking about going to the United States, where he was unfamiliar with the place, Lin Sanqi had to be more vigilant, but of course he still smiled on the surface:
"Anthony, I think you can tell your colleagues about your clinical results and tell the world that China has conquered tuberculosis, so I don't think I will go to the United States.
You see how busy I am at work. I'm the only one running such a large hospital, and I don't even have a vice president. If I weren't in China, our hospital would close, and so many Chinese employees would be out of work."
Professor Anthony frowned, thinking, have you forgotten that you were away in Hong Kong for a month, so how come you don’t have time when it’s your turn to go to the United States?
At this time, the cunning Anthony knew that it was useless to say more, and saying too much would instead arouse Lin Sanqi's vigilance.
If we want Lin Sanqi to go to the United States, it seems that we need to mobilize external forces.

Internal meeting of the National Health Commission:
The staff was reporting overseas media reports forwarded by the foreign affairs department to a group of health system leaders in the conference room.
"According to the Boston Daily News report, there is no substantial evidence that China has conquered tuberculosis, as no paper has been published so far."
"According to a new issue of the New England Journal of Medicine published in October, China also believes that it needs to provide more evidence to prove that it has found a drug to cure tuberculosis."
"Also, according to an interview with The Times, Professor Wesley Shawn of Cambridge University Medical School believes that China's claim to be able to cure tuberculosis is an international joke. He criticized China's irresponsible remarks, which are inconsistent with medical common sense."
Agence France-Presse interviewed Dylan Berry, who is in charge of foreign affairs at the WHO. Dylan Berry said that the WHO did allow Harvard Medical School to conduct clinical trials in China, but no conclusions have been reached yet.
"West Germany's Der Spiegel magazine believes that China should prove its research results to the world. Only when they can withstand the clinical trials of experts from various countries can it be proven that China has conquered tuberculosis."
"And there's more..."
The staff spent an hour just reading the newspaper.
In the conference room, officials including Jing, leader of the Health Committee, Minister Li, Deputy Minister Zhang Jiansheng, as well as leaders in charge of health work from the military and major factories and mines were all silent.
As a "Beijing official", Lin Sanqi was also qualified to attend this meeting, but he sat in the corner of the conference room with his godfather, Shen Guoming, the director of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.
After the staff finished reading, Leader Jing looked around and said:
"Comrades, have you all heard this? This is the biggest dilemma our new China is currently facing. We have clearly invented anti-tuberculosis drugs and can clearly cure tuberculosis.
Even the Harvard Medical School team in the United States has been staying in the infectious disease hospital for half a year. The president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, Saburo Nango, also came to China with his wife to treat tuberculosis.
However, these achievements have been turned a blind eye by foreign media, or the foreign medical community. Look at these news media, they ignore facts and distort right and wrong. Not only do they not acknowledge our great achievements, but they are also taking the opportunity to slander our New China.
This is intolerable, what is intolerable!!!"
The leader slammed the table, and the loud banging sound represented the leader's inner anger.
Dean Shen asked quietly from below:
"Xiao Qi, your infectious disease hospital has been open for over half a year. Logically, both its treatment effectiveness and domestic reputation should be very good. Patients from all over the country are flocking to your hospital now. Why is the foreign media still so responsible in its evaluation?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled:
"Hasn't foreign media always been like this? They only accuse our media of being the mouthpiece of someone else, but in reality, their media have always been the mouthpiece of various capitalists, only publishing opinions that benefit them."
Lin Sanqi thought of that ridiculous TV station CNN, which had completely lost the independence and impartiality of the news media, but still pretended to be a righteous media around the world every day.
Dean Shen smiled and said, "Oh, it seems you are quite familiar with foreign news media."
Lin Sanqi covered his mouth with his hand and said softly:
"Let's not talk about anything else, just which newspaper dares to publish responsible news about Jews? Dare to call Jews conspirators and war criminals? Who do you think is right?"
Dean Shen said helplessly, "What should we do? Our country finally has a medical achievement that shocked the world, and we're just going to let it go like this?"
Lin Sanqi signaled with his eyes: "We definitely can't let it go like this. Look, the leader is unwilling to accept this."
Although the leader is speaking on a high podium, his eyes are very sharp and he can tell at a glance who is attending the meeting seriously and who is playing with their mobile phone.
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, come here. You are the director of the Infectious Disease Hospital and the inventor of the tuberculosis drug. Tell me what we should do?"
Lin Sanqi quickly stood up, took the microphone handed to him by the staff and said:
"I think the bias and attacks from foreign media are to be expected. Imperialism has an unwavering desire to destroy us. It won't give up now, and it won't give up decades from now. This is their basic national policy, and it will never change.
I actually think the controversy in foreign media is a good thing, as it shows that our tuberculosis program has attracted the attention of other countries. It's just that, whether out of ignorance or ulterior motives, they are unwilling to acknowledge it.
Why do we have to let them admit it?
I think we can completely 'sell domestically and export', first rolling out tuberculosis treatment in the country, at least build a new infectious disease hospital in each region, and if conditions permit, build a new infectious disease hospital in each county.
"It's conservatively estimated that there are millions of tuberculosis patients in our country. If we can cure all of these patients and become the world's first tuberculosis-free country, I think when the ironclad facts are laid before our eyes, foreigners will have no choice but to acknowledge them."
Dean Tu of Union Hospital is now a close friend of Lin Sanqi, so he was the first to express his support:
"President Lin is right. Tuberculosis is the world's number one infectious disease, and millions of people die from it every year. Since foreigners don't want to believe us, let them die. We treat our own patients, and that's all right."
As soon as these words were spoken, the directors of major hospitals responded and expressed their agreement.
"That's right, they don't believe it, let's cure it and show them!"
"It's going to be a nationwide promotion, a national chess game. That's great, it's exciting just thinking about it."
Minister Li tapped the table a few times and said with a wry smile:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi's spirit is commendable, but we now have more than 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China, and more than 280 regions. How many new infectious disease hospitals would we need to build? If we build one in every county, that would mean another 3,000 hospitals.
My goodness, how can we afford this kind of money now? Even if we finally build these new hospitals, how will ordinary people get the money for treatment? The first consultation is 50 yuan, and then there is 5 yuan of medicine every month. It’s okay for workers, but farmers can’t afford it at all.”
Lin Sanqi thought of the tuberculosis policy of later generations and proposed:
"This part of the cost will be borne by the government, and patients will receive free treatment."
Minister Li laughed and scolded:
"Lin Sanqi, you're truly a man who doesn't care about back pain. The national treasury is so poor that rats can escape. Where's the money to provide treatment? Come on, why don't you take on this role and provide the money? I'll gladly give up my position."
The whole audience chuckled.
Lin Sanqi scratched his head. "Minister Li, do you mean to say that anyone with money can become a minister? This is buying and selling official positions. I don't have any money." (End of this chapter)
