So from certain angles, there is no problem with Frank Yang always having been in opposition. When he had worked in America before, he had witnessed how several large accelerators had created huge financial burdens, so they would rather support the LHC, since theoretical achievements are, indeed, shared by all of humanity.
However, perhaps it was the soaring achievements in domestic space exploration that gave him confidence. Frank Yang changed his stance and stood with Wu Yunfeng in support of the accelerator construction. His influence was not to be underestimated; many decision-making leaders were persuaded by this approach.
Lin Ju also got fired up because he claimed that he would take out ten billion to support TEPA construction, and many domestic enterprises followed suit, announcing their intentions to donate funds over the coming period, with the media-reported pledged amount nearing twenty billion yuan.
