Child demands jewellery-adorned Labubu figure then explodes in a costly fit of temper when his request is rejected

A Chinese influencer has revealed that a petulant child who was upset at being refused a Labubu toy shattered a glass ceiling and smashed a crystal chandelier, causing more than 400,000 yuan (US$56,000) of damage.

However, the child’s parents offered just 20,000 yuan (US$2,800) in compensation, saying they were too poor to pay.

incident attracted public attention after a male influencer, known online as “Little Azheng”, or “Tail Brother”, told on social media how a relative had visited his home with a young boy.

During the visit, the boy noticed the influencer’s Labubu doll adorned with expensive jewellery and threw a tantrum, demanding the toy for himself.
