Because all avant-garde artists and underground types love laser shows, don’t they? So glad that China is finally starting to get the whole “soft power” thing!

“The Beijing government said the project would include investment of 50 billion yuan, or about $8 billion dollars.”

Hey, Christmas and the Spring Festival are right around the corner. Local officials have stockings to stuff and dumplings to make!
