For most Xin citizens, they only saw the shallowest representation of the confrontation in the Western Pacific.
Celestial Trade fired warning shots and the Joint Fleet evaded. The fighters on both sides all took off and dueled it out in the air. In the end, both parties returned with no gains or losses...
Of course, people who followed the situation still saw that Celestial Trade gained the upper hand.
As for the game behind its appearance, no one dug deeper. In particular, both the UA and Xin tacitly remained silent regarding the duel between the leaders in front of the media.
After all, the nuclear buttons were placed on the table. Jiang Chen didn't want to be labeled as a butcher by controversy, and the UA didn't want to lose the deterrent known as the president's "suitcase". The number of other countries who gained information about this through their intelligence networks was unpredictable.
