If you cheat, money will follow

On June 6, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a regular press conference.

Regarding this incident, some details have been released to the public.

"We have officially informed Japan in accordance with relevant international laws."

"We have reminded Japan many times to stop similar espionage activities and illegal immigration, strengthen the management of relevant institutions, and strengthen citizen education."

"So far, such incidents have occurred many times, and they are stubborn, stubborn and stubborn."

"This time, they entered the country illegally with a large number of standard weapons and wanted to commit violent acts. In view of this, we will counterattack based on the principle of reciprocity."

"To urge Japan to reflect deeply and prevent similar incidents from happening."

The foreign department's speech is like a teacher educating a student.

6 month 2 day.

Countermeasures are coming.

The Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China issued an announcement on the working mechanism of the unreliable entity list.

In the announcement, 72 Japanese companies were included in the entity list.

Companies included in the entity list will be prohibited from import and export activities related to China;

The above-mentioned enterprises are prohibited from investing in China;

The above-mentioned enterprises are prohibited from carrying out any form of business cooperation and transaction activities with Chinese enterprises;

Senior managers of the above-mentioned enterprises are prohibited from entering the country;

Cancel the domestic work permit, stay and residence qualifications of the above-mentioned senior managers of the enterprises.

The above measures will officially take effect on June 6.

If the decision of this announcement is not fulfilled within the time limit, compulsory measures will be taken, including but not limited to fines, confiscation, expulsion and other measures.

These 72 companies are all backed by certain forces, and there are a lot of unspeakable activities.

As soon as the sanctions were announced, the whole world was in an uproar.

Media from many countries around the world have reported on this, believing that China, which has always been low-key and gentle, has finally become stronger.

However, Neon immediately summoned the ambassador to Neon to lodge a strong protest against this "unreasonable" and "baseless" sanction.

It calls for the immediate lifting of sanctions and correct and fair treatment of 72 companies operating legally and compliantly.

He also emphasized: "If Neon's serious concerns do not change, we will carefully examine Neon's attitude and take active corresponding measures to help change and correct wrong behavior."

This sentence is equivalent to a showdown, which further tenses the relationship between the two parties and raises it to the forefront.

6 month 7 day.

The Entity List for Neon officially takes effect.

Senior managers of 72 Neon companies in China were deported.

Relevant media also conducted on-site reporting.

On the same day, the Neon Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced the establishment of an “End User List”.

The list lists 15 major categories of items, technology items, and equipment items.

For these items to be exported, they must be approved by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

These 15 major categories include weapons, nuclear energy, chemical weapons, missiles, advanced materials, processing equipment, electronic devices, electronic computers, communication equipment, sensors, navigation electronic instruments, ship and maritime equipment, propulsion systems, etc.

Although the "End User List" does not name names, the implication is very clear.

6 month 15 day.

One week after the “End User List” was released, another blockbuster bomb was dropped in China.

The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the "Catalogue of Export Prohibited and Restricted Technologies".

Rare earth-related technologies are included in the catalog within the restricted scope;

It is prohibited to export rare earth refining, processing, and utilization technology, as well as rare earth metal and alloy material production technology;

Among them, samarium cobalt, neodymium iron boron, cerium magnet preparation technology and rare earth calcium oxyborate preparation technology are listed as restricted export items;

Implement export controls on gallium, germanium and graphite related items.

The enactment of this measure clearly points to neon and will have a fatal impact on its development.

In the field of rare earths and related technologies, China has an absolute monopoly and is irreplaceable.

Because except China, no country in the world has rare earth refineries.

And the extraction and processing of rare earths are very complex processes.

Highly specialized personnel, technology and equipment are required.

Domestic enterprises and related researchers have established huge advantages in this field.

According to data from the International Energy Agency, China accounts for about 60% of global rare earth mining, but rare earth processing and refining output accounts for 90%.

The "Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited and Restricted from Exporting" has attracted close attention from around the world and has also caused concern in many countries.

In response to this concern, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated at a regular press conference:

"This move is to create positive conditions for promoting international economic and trade cooperation, and to promote reform and development through opening up."

However, Neon, whose lifeline was strangled, was surprisingly silent.

North America.

Faced with the "back and forth" and "tit-for-tat" between the two countries, North America is happy to hear this.

They like this kind of drama where the snipe and the clam fight and the fisherman wins.

It would be best to have a fight if possible.

White House.

"Mr. President, Director Pompeo is here."

"Oh? Let him in."

"Yes."

Pompeo walked into the President's Office, and at this time he was the director of the CIA.

"Mike, it's nice to meet you."

"Me too, Mr. President."

"Why are you here today?"

"Mr. President, based on the information from Neon, they explained the reasons for taking the risk."

"Oh? Could it be that they have sensed the crisis and want us to protect them in accordance with the security treaty?" Mr. President frowned and said:

"If it's just this kind of information, it goes without saying."

"Unless they can pay us enough."

"They brought this all on themselves. How stupid must they be to come up with such a method that smells like shit."

"Although, I admire their courage."

Pompeo shook his head and said:

"Mr. President, no. Their explanation is for room temperature superconductors?"

"Superconductor? Or room temperature? Has the other side already developed a room temperature superconductor?"

"No, they said that China has not completely mastered room temperature superconductors, but it has found the right method."

"The right way? How do they know?"

"According to their own explanation, they paid a lot of money to bribe a researcher who has resigned, and got the information from this researcher."

"But this researcher didn't know the details, he just heard about it."

"Oh... what about this researcher?"

"Already caught."

"Do you believe this?" King Dong shook his head:

"Why don't they say that the other side has developed controllable nuclear fusion?"

"Or a quantum computer? Or a spaceship... and something else..."

"Mike, I think you're a smart guy."

"They obviously don't want us to watch from the other side, but they want to drag us into the water."

"Yes, Mr. President, you are also very wise." Pompeo said:

"But... only this possibility can explain why they sent 32 dead soldiers to confront a division of troops."

"This is so unreasonable."

"..."

Mr. President was silent for a while and asked:

"Mike, what will happen if the other side really finds the right method and develops room-temperature superconductors in a short time?"

"Well... they will have no opponents. The specific situation they will face requires more professional people to deduce." Pompeo replied.

"Then make arrangements quickly, I need a definite answer."
