Xiang Rong? I think I've heard of him before!

When the news was released!

It created quite the stir throughout Asia!

On Weibo.

"Challenging all of humanity?"

"Holy shit!"

"The Americans are way too arrogant!"

"Didn't they only beat one person? What's that to brag about!"

"The issue here is that the AI defeated Chen Chi 9-dan. Old Chen is an American-born Chinese, and although he has never represented China as a participant in international tournaments, he has caused many problems for our national team at that level. He is one of the best Go players in the world and is ranked in the top 10 of the world rankings. Do you understand what this means? Don't tell me you guys don't know. It would be fine if it was just an ordinary amateur or pro Go player who lost to the artificial intelligence. But here, it's Chen Chi 9-dan who lost and got crushed by a score of zero to two! This news is really hard to believe!"

"It's only a machine. How can it be that strong?"
