Script
Panel 1
Inside a high-tech conference room filled with computers and large screens. A group of tech executives, including a middle-aged Asian man in a suit, are gathered around a table.
Tech Exec 1: So, is there any chance that our AI chips could have ended up in China, despite the sanctions?
Panel 2
The room is hushed. The Asian man, who looks visibly uncomfortable, shifts in his seat and glances at the door.
Asian Man: Well, let's just say we’re all very committed to compliance... and some of us are a bit too committed to China.
Panel 3
The room erupts into uneasy laughter. The Asian man stands up and heads for the door, his face a mix of guilt and resignation. Asian Man (Pauses at the door, sighs)
Tech Exec 2: Better luck next time, Alex. Don’t forget your security badge!
Asian Man: Yeah, I’ll probably need it less now.
