I wouldn't be surprised if China (or other countries) developed such technology in real life.

"The ZM-87 Portable Laser Disturber is a Chinese electro-optic countermeasure
neodymium laser device. The ZM-87 was primarily intended to blind humans but
was also reported to damage the photo-electric elements in laser rangefinders,
videocameras and missile seekers. Roughly twenty-two of the devices were
produced by the company Norinco before production ceased in 2000 as a result of
the 1995 United Nations Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons ban.
The ZM-87 is notable as one of only a few laser weapons ever produced.
Controversy has also surrounded the possible recent use of the weapon by
Russian, Chinese, and North Korean armed forces."
