Before China released a new variety of rice production, the two biggest topics in international public opinion were the Yin-Pakistan War and the food shortage. These two topics remained high under the joint hype between the official government of the Chou Kingdom and the four major grain merchants. No matter which social media or what content you are talking about, as long as you are active on the information platform, you will involuntarily be instilled with concepts related to these two topics.

The first concept is that the Yin-Pakistan War will further reduce grain production, and the current situation of international food shortage will further aggravate.

The second concept is that the international market is generally short of food. Even if a certain country has a temporary abundant supply, in the environment of frequent international trade, food prices and supply will gradually align with the international average.

These two concepts have really spread a lot of anxiety to Chinese people. Even under the current situation of sufficient food supply, many people still have vague concerns. Even the number of views of survival and wilderness videos has increased a lot, giving birth to a large number of new wilderness bloggers.

However, this situation changed rapidly after the release of the new rice, but the biggest reaction was not within China - after all, anxiety is anxiety, but most people are still confident about the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the strength of China Grain Storage.

The biggest reaction was the Western media. They had been laying the groundwork for three months. They just waited until the official of the Chou Kingdom made all preparations and then detonated the explosive barrel that had been buried long ago with an order. However, they never expected that they wanted to explode the reinforced concrete fortress, but at some point, they had been strengthened into titanium alloy material.

New York, Associated Press Headquarters Building.

For Galley, this should have been one of many ordinary days since he became president, but the news he received in the morning forced him to get up at 9 a.m. for the first time and go to the headquarters to attend an important meeting.

At this meeting, they will agree with their subordinate newspapers and media for the subsequent arrangements, and jointly with other important international news agencies to impose a consistent blockade on this news that is likely to be explosively spread in the future.

Yes, this news is the news that China just released about gene editing to increase rice production.

When he just received this news, he had actually subconsciously formulated a series of operations in his mind, including doubts, opposition, slander, etc., but after a few minutes of careful thinking, he completely overturned his original idea.

As things have developed to this point, as a veteran in the press, he has fully seen the situation and understood that if he had not been 100% sure, Huaxia would never have released such a sensitive news at such a sensitive moment.

Since it has been released, their technology will definitely stand firm - especially in the field of "rice" that has its own leading advantages.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to defeat the other party in public opinion. All you can do is to use your strong control in the field of news media to minimize the influence of this news, limit its communication channels, and thus make its communication speed slower.

If the scope of communication can be limited to China, then for the international community, this is just Chinese people who entertain themselves and comfort themselves. But once the news comes out of the sea and are reported by mainstream international media, no matter how loud the doubts are, they will eventually be defeated by the other party's technical facts.

This is a simple multiple-choice question. There seem to be many options in front of you, but in fact, it is just one that is really useful.

After arriving at the office, Galley simply drank a cup of coffee and entered the conference room without stopping, and with his arrival, the discussion began.

"...I still think that we should report this news negatively, and the reason is very simple: I have communicated with relevant professional scholars, and I learned that the so-called gene editing technology they published is based on the editing of two extremely rare gene fragments."

"These two fragments can indeed affect rice yield and growth cycle, and many of our studies are based on both."

"But the problem is that with the gene editing technology we have now, no gene editor can edit the two. If we use a common example, it is that our knife is too big and the cake we need to cut is too small."

"Everyone, can you imagine using a kitchen knife to cut a cell? This is the difficulty of their technology--it is completely impossible."

"So, I think that their so-called new production increase technology is just to cope with the current public pressure to comfort the people. This not only does not mean that they have an advantage, but rather that they have reached the brink of collapse."

"Imagine that when a group needs to comfort through false news, it must mean that this group can no longer find more real and real comfort."

"We can burn them to ashes by adding another fire to this."

The first speaker was a representative of the Herald. He had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He didn't look like a media practitioner, but rather a research scholar.

Under his leadership, the Herald is indeed famous for its rigor, professionalism and objectiveness.

But Galley knew that this time, he was indeed wrong.

Using a knife to cut the cells? This is indeed an appropriate metaphor, but the scholars who raised this question obviously did not think about what if the family is not using an ordinary kitchen knife?

In fact, based on the information I had, Huaxia had already started trial of a new gene editor two months ago. This was originally a project with a very high level of confidentiality, but because of the too many institutions and personnel involved, some information was inevitably leaked, but I did not regard it as a very important thing to follow up.

Not only myself, but even the official of the Ugly Kingdom did not take it seriously. Now, this arrogance and contempt obviously cost us the price.

Galley raised his right hand and signaled everyone present to be quiet, and spoke in a low and steady voice:

"Evan, your logic may be tried on something else, but this time, I can tell you clearly that you must be wrong."

"The reason is very simple, you should have noticed that after the official release of this news in China, their allies did not immediately follow up the report."

"You are a professional media person, so you should also know that if a message is to be spread, the most important thing is the initial traffic of the message. If it does not receive widespread attention at the first time of its release, it will become extremely difficult to artificially expand its influence in the future."

"It is impossible for Chinese media people not to know this, but they did not do this. Why?"

"Because their purpose is not to form influence at all, it is just a routine message."

"A notice to the public after actually achieving results."

"Believe me, this news is just the beginning. They must have really made an increase in rice production, and will follow up the report in the next few weeks or a month. The content of the report is the real growth and harvest of rice."

"The news at that time was the news that they would really spread on a large scale."

After Galley finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. After a long time, a representative from AFP asked:

"So, you mean, we should report this news truthfully?"

"No, of course not. This is exactly the purpose of today's meeting. I hope to reach an agreement with everyone here and not report this news from any angle for the time being."

"Everyone is smart, and you probably know what the purpose of the reports we have done in the past two months."

"Now, the technological breakthroughs of the Chinese people have brought major challenges to our purpose, and we cannot refute them, so there is only one strategy that can be adopted: keep silent."

"We are a huge alliance, and our allies control more than 60% of the media around the world. As long as we remain silent, we can limit the popularity of this matter to a very small range."

"And as long as this news has not been spread on a large scale, our ultimate goal will not be greatly affected."

"I think everyone can understand this, right?"

Hearing his words, the representative of AFP nodded slightly and then replied:

"I agree with you."

"very good!"

Galli nodded with satisfaction, looked around for a week and asked:

"What about the others?"

"agree."

"agree."

BBC and Reuters made a series of statements, and in the end, the meeting reached an agreement in a friendly atmosphere.

This result made Gary regain confidence. After all, the media group he represents is still the largest media group in the world. To a certain extent, as long as he wants to do it, he can largely determine the direction of certain problems in the world.

This time, the same is true.
