Wuxi Knife Attack Highlights Rising Violence Trend

News summary

A knife attack at the Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology in Yixing, eastern China, left eight people dead and 17 injured. The suspect, a 21-year-old former student named Xu, was arrested at the scene and confessed to the attack, motivated by failing his exams and dissatisfaction with his internship compensation. This incident is part of a troubling trend of mass violence in China, including a recent case in Zhuhai where a man drove into a crowd, killing 35 people. Such attacks are relatively rare in China, where firearms are controlled, but knife violence has been increasing. Authorities are investigating the Yixing attack while providing care for the wounded. Discussions on Chinese social media reflect public shock and call for increased campus security and mental health education.
