This time the list only targets a few companies that pose potential threats to national security and will not be expanded or affect economic cooperation with other economies.

However, even this reply is enough to make other economies feel relieved.

Because at least the attitude is very clear:

This matter has nothing to do with anyone else.

In this case, there is no need to fight or mediate.

The only thing we can do is to regard this batch of entity lists as a signal that a crisis has begun and make preparations in advance in other areas.

Chengdu, in the office.

Chen Nian looked at the report in front of him and said to Chen Guo:

"Look at what these companies have chosen. The attack scope is quite precise in the semiconductor field. Microelectronics, SMIC, ZTE, and Huawei have directly killed an entire industry chain."

"In the field of materials, all companies that have participated in large-tow carbon fiber have been recruited, and 17 companies were recruited at one time."

"In addition, several titanium alloy manufacturers have also been targeted. This is obviously aimed at the aviation industry."

"There are several photovoltaic and lithium battery companies, but they don't seem to be very powerful?"

"I don't understand this heavy elm liquid. Is it aimed at metallic hydrogen? But the problem is that there are more than one hydraulic manufacturers."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo nodded solemnly, and then replied:

"Yes, this operation is different from what we have encountered before."

"If it was a face-to-face strike before, this time it's a surgical precision strike."

"Especially in the semiconductor field, if we hadn't made a good layout in advance, the entire industry chain would have been killed by the Entity List."

"When the time comes, we will have no choice but to sell our interests in exchange for the right to survive."

Chen Nian sighed softly. The term "exchange of survival rights" was not unfamiliar to him.

In his previous life, even 10 years later, even if China's development is far from what it is now in 2008, some companies want to survive, but they still can only grovel and offer what is theirs.

Interests.

This is the power of technological hegemony.

In modern society, it will not bring any smoke, but it will cause more harm than any kind of war.

We always say that when the last resort comes, the table will be turned over at worst.

But what does last resort mean?

Under what circumstances do we have no choice?

No one can accurately judge this.

So usually, the process becomes like boiling a frog in warm water. Slowly, you get used to it and lose the ability to resist.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian said:

"We absolutely cannot make any kind of exchange."

"As the United States often says, they will not negotiate with terrorists."

"The same goes for us, we will not negotiate with them, this economic terrorist."

"Since they want to engage in trade protectionism and since they want to launch a trade war, let's fight to the end."

"I don't believe it. With so many new technologies and so many scientific researchers, can't we survive several rounds of suppression by them?"

A smile appeared on Chen Guo's face, and then he said:

"You really need to have such ambition."

"Originally, I came to you today just to tell you that the seriousness of this incident is actually not as high as most people imagine."

"It is true that we may encounter some difficulties in the future, but such difficulties will only remain at the level of 'unsmooth' and cannot shake the foundation of our technology."

"So, just take your time. We can't mess up the situation on our own."

Chen Nian hummed, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said:

"But I still get angry when I think about it."

"What the hell, Locke just came up, right? Is he that impatient?"

"How did you know it was him?"

Chen Guo asked curiously.

In fact, Locke played the role of the legendary "red face" in this operation. He even gave public speeches on multiple occasions, saying that he would "promote the lifting of the suppression after finding out the truth," which also won him

Many Chinese people support me.

Of course, the Chinese official would not accept his nonsense. What was strange to Chen Guo was that Chen Nian had no contact with him, but why did he have such explicit contempt for him?

Facing Chen Guo's question, Chen Nian rolled his eyes and said:

"False friends will always understand you better than sincere enemies. The only one who can do such a thing is a devil like him."

"Just wait, one day I will catch him and let him properly recognize his ancestors."

Chen Guo shook her head in confusion. He had long been used to Chen Nian's "childishness" that appeared from time to time.

It's normal to be angry. If he really doesn't have emotions at any time, he's in big trouble.

After a moment of pause, he spoke to comfort:

"There is no need to disrupt our arrangements because of such a villain."

"The Economic Port has begun to introduce response strategies. What we have to do now is to implement the metallic hydrogen project as soon as possible."

"The other party's intention this time is still very obvious - although the new energy sector is the least suppressed, according to the judgment of superiors, this is their real purpose."

"The energy landscape is about to undergo a new change, and we must be prepared."
