After more than two hours of discussion, everyone wore expressions of surprise, having gained something from the exchange.
Suddenly, a judge, who appeared to be just over sixty years old, said with a hint of amusement, "Professor Arthur Jin, Chief Engineer, aren't you going to speak?"
This judge was from Germany. Although its strength was far inferior to that of America, it was not a small country that could be easily overwhelmed by America. In certain fields, Germany even had a long-standing capability to compete with America.
Regarding the conflict between America and the Eastern power, he was happy to stir the pot a bit, adding fuel to the fire to prevent America from focusing too much on Germany's actions.
As his words fell, the room fell silent. It dawned on everyone that neither America nor the Eastern power—the two largest nations—had spoken at all throughout the discussion.
Arthur Jin glanced at Ji Yuan and smirked sarcastically, saying, "Everyone should stop putting pressure on the Chief Engineer. The Eastern power has the highest carbon emissions in the world. If they really had any solutions, wouldn't that imply they are intentionally harming the global environment?"
The scientific experts from other countries lowered their heads, pretending not to hear. Neither America nor the Eastern power was someone they could afford to provoke. Seeing that both sides were about to clash, only someone foolishly brave would dare to mediate at this moment.
Members of the Eastern power's research team were infuriated by Arthur's sarcastic remarks and felt like lashing out! But unfortunately... what he said was true! In fact, the carbon emissions of the Eastern power had long been criticized.
In addition to the rapid industrial development leading to an increase in I LAR emissions, it is also significantly related to the low efficiency of energy utilization and severe waste.
"This guy..." Ji Yuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He didn't expect Arthur Jin to have become so clever, speaking in a roundabout way!
This issue is very sharp.
For a long time, the Eastern power has generally chosen to bury its head in the sand regarding this problem, pretending not to hear and going about its own business!
When it becomes unavoidable, they sincerely explain to the countries of the world.
It is not that the Eastern power does not want to solve the problem, but rather that it has no means to do so.
Although the national strength of the Eastern power ranks among the top in the world, it is still the largest developing country. If it were to follow the carbon emission standards set by developed Western countries, it would lead to economic stagnation at best and regression at worst.
Therefore, apart from trying hard to explain, there has not been much good solution, let alone agreeing to the harsh demands of Western countries.
However, since America raised such a sharp question in this context, Ji Yuan naturally would not stand by and watch the Eastern power be slandered.
"Professor Arthur Jin, please take responsibility for your remarks."
Ji Yuan stood up with a serious expression and pointedly stated: "The reason why the Eastern power has the highest carbon emissions in the world is due to its large population. When averaged per citizen, the per capita carbon emissions of the Eastern power are less than one-tenth of that of America."
America wants to smear the Eastern power, but it cannot let them succeed; otherwise, it will easily fall into a passive position.
"Large population? The Eastern power's population is similar to that of its neighboring countries, yet its per capita carbon emissions far exceed those of another populous nation. What do you have to say about that?!"
Arthur Jin was clearly well-prepared, his gaze sharp as he spoke confidently to the camera: "America's major expenditures are in industry, and we have been dedicated to the development of new energy. Almost all of the latest clean energy technologies were developed by America. Clearly, in terms of reducing carbon emissions and protecting the Earth's environment, America is at the forefront of the world."
At this point, Arthur Jin disdainfully added, "As far as I know, the Eastern power rarely engages in such 'thankless' research projects."
Using per capita statistics has always been the Eastern power's usual rhetoric, but it was unexpected that Arthur Jin would use a neighboring country with a similar population size as an example.
Suddenly, the way various countries looked at the Eastern power became inexplicably different.
Ji Yuan forced himself to respond: "The Eastern power is still the largest developing nation in the world, and at this stage, its national strength is not sufficient to support large-scale energy research and development."
"So you mean to say that only you can develop while the whole world has to make concessions for you?" Arthur Jin clearly had received guidance from certain individuals and took the initiative to attempt to shift global resentment towards America onto the Eastern power.
This world has always been one where everyone compares their shortcomings.
"Additionally, as far as I know, your country's military spending has surged rapidly in recent years. Does that mean you have money for an arms race but not for research and development?"
"Or should I say, your country would rather spend money on military buildup than 'waste' it on developing new energy and controlling carbon emissions?"
With Arthur Jin's aggressive words, the entire world's fishing fleets became inexplicably agitated.
"It seems... there might be some truth to that!" someone unwittingly got swayed.
Among those envious of the remarkable achievements of Eastern powers in recent years, one saw an opportunity and immediately jumped in to stir up trouble.
"It's obvious that aircraft carriers are being churned out like dumplings, yet they claim there's no money for researching new energy!"
"Professor Arthur Jin makes a good point. Both are populous countries; why is it that the per capita emissions of their neighbors are far lower?"
"Wanting the whole world to make concessions for their development is quite presumptuous!"
"Protecting the Earth's environment is everyone's responsibility, not just that of developed countries; certain major powers need to shoulder their responsibilities!"
In an instant, Western media, well-prepared, immediately employed their tactics to incite public sentiment.
