Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

China executed two men involved in separate mass killings in November 2024.

Fan Weiqu, 62, killed 35 and injured 45 in a car-ramming attack in Zhuhai, motivated by frustration over his divorce.

Days later, Xu Jiajin, 21, fatally stabbed 8 and injured 17 at a vocational school in Wuxi after failing exams and struggling with low pay.

Analysts link rising "revenge on society" attacks to economic struggles and social discontent.
