Hong Kong One of China's top tech billionaires faced an unusual interruption to his speech at a company event on Wednesday, when a man walked on stage and drenched him with water.
Robin Li, the co-founder and CEO of Chinese tech company Baidu, was speaking about self-driving and connected cars when a young man dressed in a black shirt came on stage and emptied a bottle of water over Li's head. Li stepped back, trying to shake the water from his hair, and said,"What's your problem?" Setbacks always lie on the road of advancing #AI, #Baidu Founder Robin Li Yanhong said at a conference in Beijing, after a man rushed to the stage to splash water on his face.
— Global Times July 3, 2019 "As you can see, all kinds of unexpected things may happen on our way forward in AI development," Li said a few seconds later."But our determination won't change going forward. We firmly believe AI will change everyone's life," he added. It was not immediately clear who the man was or what his motives were, and Baidu did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Why did he just stand there and let him pour. Slug the dude in the nugget
Weird how he held his hand and went for the back of his head. Was that his jealous rival ...or an ex?
LOL. What kind of reaction was that? Makes me think that the guy in black shirt just wants him to stay hydrated.
How awful. This kind of behavior has to be the result of copy-cat sensational media exposure, yet the media continues to show it.
Publicity stunt
The security team is 🗑
And yet he still looks thirsty!
Liberals...
Is it weird he just stood there and took it?!? Very unusual reaction.🤔
Literally my face.. but I am South East Asian and not Black.. thanks
Nd so
A very nice challenge
I don't know the reason for that but the action of black T-shirt guy is so bravery🤣🤣
To what end?
Neefje van Donnie zeker!!!
he emptied the bottle of water because the guy was clearly on fire
Delayed reaction. Maybe some marketing strategy.
LOL - CEOs are too busy to bathe - LOL
Mental disorder is real
The LEFT
Robin is a liar and murder in china
Lee,the ceo of baidu,is a very very very bad guy,and the most of chinese hate him. You know little about Baidu and he.
It's a bottle water, not a bucket of water. This means, as we can see, it takes time for the water to be poured over his head. And he didn't make any movement until the whole bottle was emptied? 🤔 Could it have been a marketing stunt?
Tap or bottled spring H2O? lol The Chinese certainly selected tap...
rude little bastid but automation will make him superfluous.
It’s a planned show
Li knows lmao
A_rare_Peter Just look at this
He got drenched for the same reason Arnold got kicked.
Woah! Why did the man do this?
He just stood there without really reacting, even though he was had to see it coming? Seems staged.
Don’t waste water
He deserves it.
Hail Hitler our fuher
he was probably speaking about a hot topic
Now I know about Baidu.
The attacker probably needed to cool himself off before he burst out. Well, he did contain the source of his anger...
If this happened to trump there’s would be a big orange wet water spot where he was standing
Fake - and it work, took the bait
That company works closely with China's oppressive govt to censor information Chinese people can find through their search engine. (Just like Google) That guy will probably be executed for this protest.
I feel like that is not not a stunt.
