"Rubik's cube algorithm expert: Cracking the 3x3 cube with a personal computer is impossible!"
"Software unlocking, a new method of scam!"
"The scammer managed to deceive China's media!"
Soon enough, there was related coverage in United States media.
Most Americans treated it as a joke, not thinking it was significant news, as negative news from across the ocean is common to them. They are used to it.
In the American public opinion, this news just caused a minor ripple, and before long, it was forgotten.
China, however, was different.
Many people within the country pay attention to overseas news.
Media is no exception.
"Tongzhi News Network" is such a media outlet. They like to publish overseas news here domestically. All they needed to do was to find useful news and translate it into Chinese.
This news will soon be converted into domestic reports.
