ANGER ONLINE

Comparing violent crime to other European nations, violence is typically uncommon in China, but there have been numerous large-scale casualty incidents this year.

Stabbings and vehicle attacks have hampered its reputation for providing safe public transportation, causing uneasy residents and authorities everywhere.

Some analysts attribute the incidents to growing frustration and anguish over the country’s sluggish economy and a feeling that community is becoming more tiered.

Authorities in Zhuhai waited almost 24 hours to find out that numerous people had died, and that social media content and discussions of the assault had been censored.

Within hours, a employer told AFP that a wooden monument outside the activities center was being removed in response to an “order from the top.”

On Friday, there was a flurry of anger and impact surrounding the case, with comments on Weibo lauding the prosecutor for making a quick decision and some calling for immediate execution.

One person said Fan” don’t be allowed to celebrate the New Yr”.

A person who struck his car into a group of mainly schoolchildren in northern China last quarter, injuring 30, received a suspended death sentence with a two-year break on Monday.

According to the court, the man sought to “vent his feelings” over financial problems caused by household conflicts and investments, according to CCTV.

On Monday, some Chinese social media users criticized the sentence in that case as to light.
