"Yan Country has definitely produced chips. Could it be that they can manufacture chips themselves?" Someone guessed the truth correctly.
Although it seems unbelievable, this is the most reasonable explanation.
Isn't all the restriction and limitation imposed by everyone just to block these things?
But he was also constantly worried about the technological breakthroughs that Yan Kingdom might make, as they might break the blockade.
Therefore, at the slightest sign of trouble, people will still speculate in that direction.
"Impossible. Lithography machines are strictly prohibited from entering Yan Country. There is absolutely no way a lithography machine could enter Yan Country, whether through official channels or privately."
"Why is it impossible? You're saying that even with chip supplies being cut off and restricted, who in Yan's country is worried?"
"Furthermore, has everyone forgotten about that vehicle-carrying space that recently appeared in Yan Country?"
"That's a space that can hold things. Our other countries don't have any equipment that can be inspected. Are you sure it won't be put into that space and taken to Yan Country?"
Although they have banned vehicle-carrying spaces from entering the country, they also lack the means to conduct tests.
The initiative in this matter has always been with Yan State.
Even though they have extremely strict control over lithography machines and their related parts, it still cannot guarantee that Yan Kingdom will not be able to obtain them.
A single vehicle space is enough to put them at a disadvantage in many ways.
Before they could come up with a solution, Yan Kingdom made another change to the vehicle's space.
Although the Poké Ball was licensed, many variations have appeared since then, and it no longer looks like a Poké Ball.
The space for the vehicle can be anywhere, including the surrounding area, and can take any shape.
Other countries lack the necessary inspection equipment, and often these issues are undetectable to the naked eye.
Does that mean all countries can still refuse entry to citizens of Yan?
That doesn't matter. It's never Yan Kingdom that suffers losses.
Whoever develops Yan's tourism industry will suffer the consequences!
Given the current situation, the value of Yan country citizen ID cards continues to rise, and it doesn't matter who doesn't want one.
After discussing it for a long time and coming to a standstill, the group decided to stir up some trouble on the Yan Kingdom's internet to see if they could generate any information.
Although they can no longer move freely on the Yan Kingdom's internet as before, there are still many sheepdogs on the internet.
As long as you pay them, there will be people stirring things up and fighting for them.
A large sum of money poured in, and the originally lively and peaceful atmosphere of the Lunar New Year was suddenly overshadowed by a dark cloud.
The incident stemmed from an insider at a certain company who revealed that foreign countries had cut off chip supplies, and the company would soon be without chips to make products. A group of people were still celebrating the Lunar New Year without realizing it, completely unaware of the crisis.
Online trolls and bots all chime in, then buy trending topics, generate buzz, and provide a one-stop service.
The topic quickly escalated, causing a great uproar.
Many people were confused, only knowing that foreign countries had once again imposed sanctions on Yan Country.
Being incited will definitely make people feel uneasy, but... it seems like this won't have much impact on people's lives.
The topic was being discussed extensively, with alarmist claims being made to the extreme. But this time it was different from the past. It seemed like there was only a brief period of chaos, prices hadn't gone up, wages were fine, and the economy seemed to be still operating.
What... was sanctioned?
"Is the chip supply cut off? Have phone prices gone up?"
Have car prices gone up?
"I'm here to ask... what exactly has gone up in price?"
"No, electricity prices have dropped again, heating costs have dropped significantly, the trams in Northeast China are running perfectly fine, many seafood items are still cheaper, and other food items haven't gone up in price..."
"Even the water bill has been reduced this month!"
"Hehe, my salary seems to have gone up a bit recently..."
The online trolls trying to keep the topic going: ...What the heck? How did the topic veer off course like this?
If this continues, even AI-generated trending topics won't be able to handle it.
"Really? The chip industry has been sanctioned?"
"Did they make a move? Who made the move?"
"They're not just here to scare us, are they?!"
"I just went outside and took a look, and it does seem like the order has been given... but..."
But I don't feel it at all in China!
The country is too calm, and all sectors are too stable, so much so that the public doesn't feel any panic.
On the contrary, the so-called company insider who stirred up trouble was investigated immediately.
Their company's products are doing just fine, and the production line is working overtime. Where is there a shortage of products to produce?
Unexpectedly, the investigation revealed that such a person did exist, and he was immediately taken in for questioning.
The company immediately issued a denial and even livestreamed the bustling production scene.
At the same time, the government did not rush to explain, but instead took the opportunity to amplify its internet regulation. Many internet trolls who were still lounging at home received a pair of silver bracelets that very day.
Many influential bloggers' accounts were directly banned or deleted.
The programs that use AI to manipulate reviews and data have been cleaned up or locked. Those behind the scenes have been investigated and arrested. This wave has eliminated a lot of toxic software.
Many organized online troll companies were dumbfounded.
Was this operation so sudden and swift?
They were just celebrating the New Year and making some extra money, how come their entire hideout was raided?
The saying "the internet is not a lawless zone" seems to have finally come true.
Without these disruptive individuals stirring up trouble, the harmony on the internet has skyrocketed. People who always say strange things have disappeared, bringing a sense of peace and comfort.
The government's news arrived only belatedly after such a swift and decisive crackdown on the internet.
They didn't say much else, except that another chip factory had been added, and they leisurely released news saying that their independently developed chip had been successful and had already been put into production and put into use.
Such composure soothed all anxiety.
Foreign observers who had been closely watching the situation were immediately shocked, confirming that Yan had indeed made a breakthrough in chip research and had even quietly put it into production and use.
Does this development progress mean they've added rocket boosters?
"Investigate, who exactly provided the lithography machine to Yan Country?"
"The check is complete, and there really isn't anything there."
"Impossible. Could Yan really produce chips with the resources of a single nation?"
"Quickly, cut off all supplies of raw materials for the chips."
"Heh... It's too late. They're not buying anymore. On the contrary, the raw material suppliers are begging Yan to buy from them... Otherwise, do they have to keep subsidizing the losses from these raw materials?"
If you cut off someone's business and their source of income, it's impossible not to compensate them.
This time, the United States and other powers made a big move, but they lost both their wife and their army.
Eighty percent of the public intellectuals cultivated and the mouthpieces bought off were lost, and hundreds of millions of dollars had been invested before that, all of which went down the drain without any effect.
Although the "secret" hidden by Yan Guo was finally discovered, getting the hammer after asking for it did not help their situation at all.
Do they really think they can just storm into Yan country and blow up the chip factory?
