Chinese Tech Giant GUI in Ruins After Massive System Crash

The tech world was rocked this week when Chinese chip giant GUI Microsystems suffered a massive system failure at their chief manufacturing facility in the Guangdong Province. The origin of the failure is unknown, but sources have confirmed that the crash corrupted systems throughout the GUI network and compromised the stability of its entire production line.

In response, the United States government has canceled a three billion dollar contract with GUI, sending its shares on the Shanghai Exchange plummeting to an all-time low. Beijing immediately promised a full investigation, prompting GUI founder and CEO, Tai Qiang to resign in disgrace.
