President Zhao froze at those words, but a second later, he realized that Shen Bing's concerns were entirely plausible!
By now, almost everyone knew what Shen Bing meant to Huaxia.
He had already been hailed as the hope for Huaxia's rise in scientific research. Leaving the Americans in the dust would be no problem at all.
The Americans naturally wouldn't be happy to see that happen, so they were bound to take action.
