The President saw the report but did not take it particularly seriously.
Damn it, just a while ago, you were submitting reports asking us to pressure Huaxia into letting the Chinese yuan appreciate.
Now the Chinese yuan has risen a tiny bit on its own, and you're telling me it's dangerous.
Dangerous, my Ghost! Do you think I'm an idiot? One piece of software can change countries' monetary policies? Why don't you just claim it can work miracles?
Of course, disregarding the report was one thing; whether to put pressure on Phantom Immortal Technology was another.
The invitation bound for Huaxia was currently sitting on his desk for a final review. Perhaps he could increase his leverage before this meeting.
So the President first had his assistant call the Computer Association and tell them to send out the invitation.
At the same time, the President signed off on another document and instructed the Department of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to act immediately.
These American departments were quite efficient, especially when it came to threatening and pressuring others.
"...Given the special nature of the Dragon Scale Security Software operated by Phantom Immortal Technology, and in consideration of the United States' cybersecurity needs, use of this software in the United States will be suspended. Huaxia's Illusion Immortal Technology Company is requested to contact the United States Department of Commerce and Ministry of Network Information immediately to seek approval for the relevant aspects of the software."
"...Due to the monopolistic nature of Dream Glass, the United States has decided to launch an antitrust investigation into this product with immediate effect. If the investigation substantiates these concerns, the United States will impose a punitive tariff of 50% on products of this category."
The two announcements sent shock waves around the world.
