Imagine doing a light show that basically jams a laser pointer into someone's eye and strobes it for hours on end. President Xi, this happened on your turf. It is your duty to find the folks that held this event and have them all executed.

yea and not just a regular laser pointer but a UV one. how tf does that happen

Hong Kong partygoers have experienced medical issues following exposure to improper UV lighting at an event before.

On Oct. 20, 2017, a number of attendees at a party thrown by streetwear brand HypeBeast reported painful burns and eye damage.

It was revealed by the events’ DJ on Oct. 26 that the contractor tasked with setting up lighting at the party had used a series of Philips TUV 30W G30 T8 light bulbs, which, according to Philip’s website, emit 12 watts of UV-C radiation, mainly used for disinfecting surfaces.

But did anyone get sick?💁

L O L!! Those bulbs come standard in our industrial biosafety cabinets, and our company has us remove them because they are too dangerous. That's right my giant globe straddling biotechnology firm cares more about its employees.

Are the organisers still accepting NFTs as payment to set up other stages?

that's a bit harsh for something so funny.

give them a point for every NFT dork they harmed and take 1000 away for every venue worker. the balance can be the prison sentence in years if it's negative.

Blinding a bunch of insufferable NFT cultists is pretty funny, so I think Xi should find them and give them a small jpeg of a medal.
