The verbal sparring between Ji Yuan and Arthur Jin completely deviated from the topic of gas energy, yet the judges showed no intention of intervening. This kind of ideological debate is not something that ordinary researchers can participate in. A slight misstep in their words could potentially lead to diplomatic turmoil. It was only because Ji Yuan held a transcendent position in the Eastern power and the core leadership entrusted him with handling all matters related to the global cutting-edge technology exhibition that he could engage so fiercely with Arthur Jin, who also had the backing of the White Palace.
"Scientific development is naturally meant to contribute to our own country. We are the largest developing nation in the world, striving not only to avoid holding back global progress but also to lend a hand to our brothers in Asia and Africa, which is already quite a challenge," Ji Yuan stated, unwilling to fall into Arthur Jin's trap. "If our people enjoyed a standard of living like that of America, Eastern scientists would likely be even more enthusiastic about large-scale development of new energy than those in America. As for military spending, I suggest America first confront its own annual military expenditures. There is an Eastern saying: 'There are priorities in learning, and each field has its own expertise.' I believe neither of us is a politician, let alone a military strategist..."
Arthur Jin's expression turned fierce, and he scoffed inwardly, clearly unwilling to let Ji Yuan evade accountability so easily.
However, regarding the issue of military spending, it really shouldn't be him to bring it up. This topic is too sensitive and could easily lead to trouble! Therefore, he could only continue to press on: "Chief Engineer, science knows no borders. Overemphasizing national interests is an extremely selfish act; scientists should work for the benefit of humanity."
He absolutely could not let this matter be brushed aside; he had to seize this opportunity to thoroughly tarnish the reputation of the Eastern power! He even wanted the public to feel that the rise of the Eastern power posed a threat to the world and was a violation of established rules.
Whether they were the ones who made the rules or those who passively followed them, they certainly did not want a rule-breaker to emerge! Ji Yuan glanced at Arthur Jin and smiled lightly: "Professor Arthur Jin, you are right."
"Science indeed has no borders, but scientists do. Eastern scientists serve one-tenth of humanity's population; isn't that already great?"
"Let’s be honest with ourselves: one-quarter of humanity emits one-tenth of carbon. Is that really hard to accept?"
"Your country constantly claims to uphold human rights and equality. Does this so-called human rights equality only apply to America, while people from other countries are unworthy of it?"
A series of large hats were lowered, and even scientists who had no ties with the Eastern country couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
This genius scientist from the East not only possessed extraordinary talent in the field of research but also demonstrated impressive eloquence in debates.
Especially in discussions about human rights, his arguments struck directly at the soft underbelly of M country's ideology, leaving Arthur Jin unable to recklessly express counterarguments in front of the camera.
Arthur Jin's aggressive fishing reel tactics seemed to be instantly defused, and even those previously outraged by the situation began to reconsider.
"One-quarter of the world's population emits one-quarter of the carbon; it doesn't seem too difficult to accept." Even among the citizens of Western countries, there was a growing realization that this was not an unreasonable statement.
"I feel like we have been used; it's not that the Eastern country has taken away our development opportunities. It has never pressured our country regarding carbon emissions. Instead, it is the developed countries led by America that view carbon emission standards as a means to undermine China's industrial manufacturing!"
"However, the Eastern country's carbon emissions are increasing sharply every year. If it does not take on responsibility, no matter how strictly we hold ourselves accountable, the Earth will be ruined by the Eastern country's development model; their resource utilization rate is simply too low!"
"I believe we should strengthen international cooperation, sharing resources in clean energy and new energy technologies, and strive to curb the rapid increase in carbon emissions."
"The carbon emissions of the Eastern Power are the world's number one. It is necessary to take action to curb the growth of carbon emissions; otherwise, even if we in Western Europe stop all industrial and agricultural activities, we cannot slow down the rapid increase in carbon emissions. It must take on this responsibility!"
Arthur Jin was sweating profusely.
His intention was to politicize the energy topic during the seminar, pointing out that the Eastern Power is the culprit behind the energy crisis and a key player in environmental degradation. Thus, he aimed to restrict the Eastern Power's energy transactions, forcing them to shift towards opening up inefficient new energy sources.
However, after a round of exchanges, Ji Yuan instead placed the Eastern Power in the position of a victim, criticizing America's overly harsh attitude.
With a quarter of the world's population emitting a tenth of the carbon, is it not excessive to place such blame?
