The spokesman of MIIT provides the following reasons for the above changes. Lack of innovation and very little improvement in the functionality of new laptop computers lower the incentive of consumers to buy new laptop computers in China. At the same time, the production of chips, an indispensable part of making laptop computers, halted due to the strict social distancing measures brought by the dynamic zero-Covid policy in China. With the aid of a well-labeled demand-and-supply diagram, show the above impacts on the new laptop computer market's equilibrium price and quantity in China in 2021. Briefly explain your answers.
