Rising Concerns: China's Kindergarten Stabbings Claim Lives
The recent spate of knife attacks in China, including the recent kindergarten stabbing, highlights a disturbing trend that has emerged since 2010. These attacks, almost always carried out by men, are designed to cause maximum outrage and inflict pain on society. Experts suggest that the perpetrators, driven by festering anger and resentment, seek notoriety while expressing their dissatisfaction with the societal changes and inequalities in China. Factors such as social and economic transitions, wealth disparities, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic have contributed to the rise of these "social revenge" attacks.
