Japan's Asahi Shimbun described Jiang Cheng's speech with the term "absurd," but such an attitude subtly reveals implicit praise rather than genuine criticism. After all, the word "absurd" is emphasized in bold and placed in quotation marks.

The entire article shows a longing for the future depicted by Jiang Cheng. If Jiang Cheng can single-handedly create such a future, then true futuristic living will fully emerge!

It is very clear that the editor-in-chief of Asahi Shimbun highly agrees with Jiang Cheng's speech.

However, the news media in other countries tend to explicitly praise while implicitly criticizing, quite the opposite of Japan's Asahi Shimbun. For instance, Korea's Chosun News.

"The hope of a new era, a new century will fully arrive! Jiang Cheng, bringing his 'Gene Era' into this world!"

While the headline from Chosun News seems to directly praise Ye 14 Su, in reality, the attitude is actually reversed.

Besides publishing Jiang Cheng's speech, Chosun News specifically invited a professor from Korea Medical University to evaluate Jiang Cheng's speech.

As a professional in the field of medicine, it's naturally impossible to agree with Jiang Cheng's bold paper.

In fact, this professor used a very harsh tone to evaluate Jiang Cheng's speech article.

"Daydreaming! This word perfectly describes Jiang Cheng. This young man's arrogance clearly exceeds my imagination. Although his achievements are undeniable, making him one of the greatest people in this world, proposing such a theory is truly laughable!"

The attitudes of media in other countries vary, with some media insisting on supporting Jiang Cheng—even though what Jiang Cheng said in his speech is absurd, this world sometimes is just that absurd! Isn't it?

Jiang Cheng previously created the Virtual Reality Device, pioneered a new form of graphene, and brought the Transparent Phone to the market! If these things hadn't been created yet, who would believe in their existence? Who would have believed that devices only seen in movies would actually appear in the real world?

Indeed, even though Jiang Cheng's speech content is absurd, who can assert that the future won't be like this?

Not to mention the distant future—if Jiang Cheng can speak so directly, he probably already has some related research findings in the Genetic Domain!

Of course, more media still maintain a negative or skeptical attitude towards the content of Jiang Cheng's speech.

After all, Jiang Cheng's speech is far too detached from reality.

Quite a few mentors in the field of medicine also came forward during this time to express their disapproval of Jiang Cheng.

Dr. Chuck, a Nobel Prize in Medicine laureate who has made significant contributions to the field, expressed his stance very clearly in a media interview: "I cannot deny that the future Jiang Cheng depicts is indeed beautiful, and I am willing to believe that, after a long, long time—how long is that? A few hundred years? A thousand years? Even several thousand years later, the end of medicine may indeed resemble what he described, where humans no longer need doctors—but that is an unpredictable future, a fantastical horizon, definitely not now! It's still 2017; proposing such a theory is way too early!"

The journalist conducting the interview, hearing this, curiously asked: "Are you both denying and affirming Mr. Jiang Cheng? Do you see Mr. Jiang Cheng as someone who has already surpassed this era?"

Dr. Chuck nodded and said: "I have somewhat of that idea, but not entirely. Mr. Jiang Cheng is indeed a talent transcending this era, but I certainly cannot affirm his speech! Mr. Jiang Cheng's fantasy novel shouldn't have been presented at the Hasslo Medical Lecture, but in some science fiction magazine."

Dr. Delos, who has received countless awards in the field of neurology, snorted during an interview with a reporter and said: "I am very grateful that Jiang Cheng created the Virtual Reality Device. His accomplishments I cannot deny! But clearly, Mr. Jiang Cheng has oversimplified the field of medicine! While he is visionary, that vision has no application in the field of medicine. His absurd speech is destined to receive numerous criticisms!"

World-renowned pharmacologist and biologist Warrot, who has won the Nobel Prize in Medicine twice, directly attacked Jiang Cheng's speech article on his Twitter account.

Warrot: "I have never seen such a ridiculous article—I initially thought it was content from a fantasy fiction magazine. Upon further understanding, it truly made me laugh; it's incredible that Mr. Jiang Cheng delivered such insights at the Hasslo Medical Lecture! Such an innocent and lovely speech content truly amused me for a long time... I believe that after I posted this tweet, many will refute me, as it's that great genius who single-handedly founded Cosmic Umbrella Technology Company, the new hope of the 21st century; anything he says must be correct, but I have to say, this is truly foolish."

Warrot's tweet was reposted many times, and quite a few people opposed Warrot; these people, as loyal fans of Jiang Cheng, or even what could be considered as blindly devoted fans, have absolute trust in this world-changing man. Naturally, when Jiang Cheng is attacked like this, they stand up immediately.

However, Warrot is no ordinary person, being a two-time Nobel Prize in Medicine laureate and a world-renowned pharmacologist. In terms of authority in the field of medicine, Jiang Cheng is not up to par, and Warrot also has many fans. At this time, as Warrot is attacked over this tweet, these fans naturally engage in battles with the opposing side.

Controversial matters always lead to battles. This is a very common scenario—along with such battles and debates, the entire world is completely swept into the discussion storm surrounding Jiang Cheng's paper.

The whole world has gone crazy over Jiang Cheng's speech, yet Jiang Cheng himself remains calm. Perhaps from the beginning, he never took such matters to heart. Just like his response during a journalist's interview—how others see it is their business; he just needs to do his own thing well.

Such an easy statement to make, though it's actually difficult to achieve, but only someone as transcendent as Jiang Cheng could easily accomplish this.
