    Yeah, a few years back when multiple cities are giving tax incentives and special zoning for "blockchain technology", I was like Mr Xi you need another purge within the CPC.

    And now the same thing is happening for "metaverse technology". Know you are busy bud, but the purge gotta happen sooner or later.

      I feel like equating dumb VR toys and conferencing tools to a pyramid scheme that's wiped out all of humanity's renewable energy gains is a bit too far.
