contents There exists a complex structure $J$ on a connected open subset $S^3_δ\times S^3$ of $S^6$. The present paper proves that: (1) $J$ can be extended to a global almost complex structure $\widetilde{J}$ on $S^6$; (2) any extension to $S^6$ is necessarily non-integrable. Therefore, it is impossible to deform $\widetilde{J}$ to an integrable almost complex structure on $S^6$ while fixing it on $S^3_δ\times S^3$. This phenomenon indicates that the deformation strategy suggested by S.-T. Yau in his Problem 52 cannot be realized in this sense.
