379: Chapter 378 Conflict Resurges

After Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan finished stating his main points.

Lin Mo asked.

"Is it free?"

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan paused slightly.

He said, appearing slightly hesitant.

"As of now, all of our over one billion Huaxia citizens can receive the Azure Dragon Supplement for free."

"If we cannot treat outsiders equally, it will still lead to resentment over inequality rather than scarcity, which I fear would not be good..."

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan had just finished speaking.

Professor Ai Chongfeng, who was to the side, could no longer hold back.

"Are you suggesting we give it away for free?"

"Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan!"

"You really are such a saint!"

"I've truly seen it all now, with you turning your back on your own people like this!"

Suddenly being lashed out at by Professor Ai Chongfeng.

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan's face turned slightly pale.

"Hmph!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng snorted coldly.

He continued.

"The Azure Dragon Supplement we developed is, in essence, a newly developed drug."

"It is a new drug with direct efficacy for the Huaxia people and their related groups, and excellent efficacy for all other human races and ethnic branches."

"Before you plan to use this to show benevolence to the outside world!"

"You should at least consider how those Westerners have treated our Huaxia people in the past!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng's face was grim.

After a pause.

He continued speaking.

"Don't you forget!"

"In the past, the pharmaceutical industries controlled by Western capital giants set astronomical prices in Huaxia for every single newly developed drug!"

"What's even more detestable is that they dared to block export volumes to Huaxia and used medicine to engage in political struggles!"

"These are things that save lives!"

"Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan!"

"Tell me, have they ever treated us Huaxia people like human beings?"

Professor Ai Chongfeng grew angrier as he spoke.

He drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

He set it down on the coffee table.

It made a "clatter" sound.

"I am not referring to anyone in particular!"

"I am talking about the Eagle Nation, about Japan, and about all those shameless capitalists in the old Western Alliance countries!"

"In a medical field that concerns people's lives, they actually go all out with patent protection and talk about their damn monopoly sales rights!"

"The goal is simply to protect the high profits of their own enterprises!"

"These pharmaceutical companies never even intended to cure anyone's illness from the very beginning of their research!"

"They just want you to keep taking the medicine, so they can make more money!"

"Do you know!"

"Many patients, in order to survive, have to take imported targeted drugs that cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions per injection, every single month!"

"As for the advanced medical equipment imported from abroad, just turning it on costs hundreds of thousands!"

"And what was the result?"

"It didn't help patients live an extra year or two, and instead caused many Huaxia families to go bankrupt, losing both their loved ones and their wealth!"

"What the hell is this called?"

"This is simply sucking human blood and eating human flesh!"

"Tell me!"

"Would they die if they earned a little less?"

"Huh?"

Professor Ai Chongfeng was heartbroken and indignant.

"What's even more shameless is!"

"These Western pharmaceutical companies actually have the nerve to put on a righteous facade!"

"Claiming that the risks of developing new drugs are very high and that they could easily lose their shirts, and that if it weren't for saving lives, they wouldn't invest such huge research costs!"

"Heh!"

"That sounds even better than singing!"

"After all these years!"

"I haven't seen many of those Western pharmaceutical companies losing their shirts!"

"On the contrary, most of them are raking in huge profits!"

"The most ridiculous thing is!"

"Many of you from The Doves actually had the nerve to stand up for them!"

"Saying that in order to create a good innovation ecosystem for the biomedical industry, it is a market necessity for new drugs to have higher prices after entering Huaxia!"

"Bah!"

"A bunch of villains who forget integrity at the sight of profit!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng stood up.

He glared at Xiang Guangming and Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan.

After this rant.

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan felt as if he had been scolded by name.

His face grew even paler.

Xiang Guangming was practically being pointed at in the head.

There was no helping it.

He stood up as well, crying out that he was wronged.

"Big Cannon Ai!"

"You can curse all you want, but don't stare at me!"

"This has nothing to do with me!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng sneered.

"You've been a representative of The Doves for ten years, dare you say you didn't know?"

Everyone has a limit to their patience.

Xiang Guangming wasn't a pushover either.

He retorted angrily.

"You're trying to rewrite history, aren't you!"

"Fine!"

"Then I'll go head-to-head with you today!"

"Let's take this medical field issue as an example!"

"Do you know that the old eagle surnamed Zhao, with that one line, 'Open the policy loophole for generic drugs, and don't let Western capitalists earn the hard-earned money of the Huaxia people'."

"Made so many pharmaceutical companies shy away from our Huaxia!"

"No matter how expensive the medicine is, it's better than having no medicine and just sitting there waiting to die!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng retorted tit-for-tat.

"That's perfect!"

"We can use this to vigorously develop the traditional chinese medicine system!"

"And let traditional chinese medicine, which can treat both the symptoms and the root cause, truly become the mainstream!"

Xiang Guangming was furious.

"You damn..."

"Big Cannon Ai!"

"Don't you forget!"

"Do you The Hawks understand how difficult it is to develop Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"You don't know jack!"

"The previous vigorous advocacy for the integration of Huaxia and Western medicine systems, and supporting the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine within the framework of Western medicine, was the main political stance of our Development Faction for many years, and it was only implemented after being adopted by Chief Designer Bai Yannian!"

"But what was the result? It's plain for all to see!"

"If the Traditional Chinese Medicine system could be easily developed, it would have been developed ages ago!"

"At the very least!"

"Just relying on a few chirps from you The Hawks, it definitely wouldn't develop!"

Having been retorted with logic and evidence by Xiang Guangming.

Professor Ai Chongfeng's face turned bright red.

"You!!"

"Unreasonable!"
