522: Chapter 521 Limited to Chinese Citizens!

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's words were resonant, causing the atmosphere in the conference room to perk up.

Indeed, times have changed.

Now, it is time for them to adapt to the rules of China!

After a heated discussion, all the high-level officials finally agreed with Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's proposal.

At 3:00 PM that afternoon.

The press briefing hall of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Reporters from hundreds of media outlets around the world packed the venue, with countless lenses aimed at the podium.

In front of televisions and in online live streams, billions of eyes were staring fixedly at the screens.

They were all waiting, waiting to see what kind of answer that ancient and powerful Eastern nation would give to this restless world.

Under the gaze of the masses.

Spokesperson Wang Lin of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a woman with a calm and capable demeanor, walked slowly onto the podium.

She scanned the audience, without a word of nonsense, and spoke directly.

The voice, amplified by the microphone, was clearly transmitted to the entire world.

"Friends from the press, good afternoon."

Spokesperson Wang Lin's expression was calm.

Her gaze swept over the anxious and expectant faces below, as well as the countless camera lenses flashing with red lights.

"I know what question everyone is most concerned about by coming here today."

"Regarding the several scientific and technological achievements that have sparked widespread discussion in the international community recently, which were announced by our country during the Spring Festival Gala, I am here, on behalf of the Chinese government, to provide a centralized and formal response."

Spokesperson Wang Lin's voice was clear and powerful, spreading to every corner of Earth through simultaneous interpretation.

All the reporters held their breath, their pens and cameras ready.

In front of televisions, the hearts of countless foreign citizens were in their throats.

"First, regarding the Azure Dragon Genetic Supplement, the Kunlun Second Generation Civil Exoskeleton Armor, the Nanke Dreamscape virtual reality network, and a series of other scientific and technological achievements."

Spokesperson Wang Lin's tone carried no emotional color, as if she were stating an objective fact.

"At the current stage, all the above scientific and technological achievements and their related products, their services and supply objects, are limited to Chinese citizens who hold Chinese nationality and have undergone identity verification."

Boom!

This sentence was like a basin of ice water poured over the heads of all the foreigners who held fantasies.

The press conference scene instantly exploded into chaos.

"What? Limited to Chinese citizens?"

"This is unfair! This is naked technological hegemony!"

"How can they do this? Technology belongs to all of humanity!"

The foreign reporters below were in an uproar, raising their hands one after another to ask questions, and the scene was momentarily out of control.

In the online live streaming rooms, it was even more of a wailing mess.

"It's over... There is absolutely no hope left..."

"I knew it would be like this! They never thought about sharing with us at all!"

"Fuck! We protest! We demand that China open up its technology!"

However.

Spokesperson Wang Lin turned a deaf ear to the commotion below; she just waited quietly for a few seconds until the noise at the scene subsided slightly.

Then she continued to speak, her voice not loud, but clearly overpowering all the noise.

"Of course, as a responsible major country, China has always upheld the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind."

This sentence.

Made the people who had just fallen into despair reignite a glimmer of hope.

"We promise that after prioritizing the basic needs of our country's 1.4 billion people!"

"After comprehensively evaluating the global security situation and the maturity of relevant technologies!"

"We will, at some stage in the future, gradually consider providing some technical products and services for a fee to countries, regions, and individuals that are friendly to China and possess the corresponding conditions."
