- I remember seeing those attacks in China even before i started posting here on the War Room. I just think the attacks arent reported. And chinese cops are good at preventing.

Unhappiness doesn't cause you to murder strangers. Evil or mental illness does. Unhappiness may lead one to kill themselves which Asian nations know all too well. But mass murder? No

Eight dead and at least 17 injured after mass stabbing at college campus

Police are investigating whether the suspect, believed to be a recent graduate, carried out the attack after he failed an exam and was denied a graduation certificate

At least eight people have been killed and 17 others injured in a stabbing spree at a university campus.

Police in Wuxi, in Yixing county, eastern China, said the stabbing happened at the Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology at about 6:30pm today (local time). The suspect is believed to be a recent graduate and police are investigating whether his failing of an exam was motivation for the attack.

A police statement obtained by CNN said: "Around 6:30 p.m. on November 16, 2024, a stabbing incident that resulted in casualties occurred at Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology in Yixing city, causing 8 deaths and injuring another 17, The suspect was apprehended on the scene."

The statement added the suspect did not receive a graduation certificate and was dissatisfied with "internship compensation." An investigation into the mass stabbing has been launched.

My logic was that I can see cutting people off from things due to a low social credit score could well lead to some people lashing out in ways like this because people have lashed out and done stuff like this because they felt the government was against them before.

Do I have evidence in this specific situation? No, but if we're not going to be speculating in the war room then there won't be many posts.

I saw that on a black mirror episode I believe….

Interesting. I think if one is angry enough, it could push them to violence against strangers. Maybe it is an anger problem and not just unhappiness.

You should have checked out China bullying on liveleak while it was around.

Series of attacks by people you can only describe as WAY too highly strung...

What is it the Chinese have fostered culturally that's causing so many to break?

- I think it's hard to grow outside a certain level in China, since the exams are so hard. THose people dedicate their entire life to this, athleast their young years.

That's pretty sad. RIP.

 

[Bia]

will be hard for China to avoid these sort of attack since it's random and there's no preventive measure you can anticipate like terrorism surveillance

American culture being emulated

 

[zapataxiv]

I live here in Shanghai
when the attack first happened it was all over the news and tik tok

it doesn't feel anymore dangerous than before but as an American that grew up in ABQ andDenver the violence would have to be way higher for it to be like that for me

honestly I just feel like more people have been stressed since the end of the pandemic and the economic downturn that has come


plus lots of societal pressure to buy property, cars and expensive education.

Tbh if they're lowering social credit scores to the point where people feel fundamentally excluded from society then it's not surprising that some people are going nuts and strike back in the only way they can think of.

This thing is kind of a myth at this point. They have credit scores like we do but there isn’t a social credit system unless it’s hidden or something. What I mean is nobody has a number that they’re aware of and I’m someone that visits China regularly and speaks mandarin fairly well. I think what we’re seeing is what happens when you have a low trust society and an economy that hasn’t recovered from Covid yet.

The car thing you can prevent with a bit of thought and planning.

But generically it's going to be extremely tough to tackle lone wolf attacks that seem to have no ideological rationale.

 

[Ruprecht]

Terrorism implies a political motive, but that doesn't seem to be indicated in the stories.
People are quick to associate the lack of information with the totalitarian nature of China, but to be fair they are simply doing what has long been the recommended strategy for the media to adopt in regards to mass murderers, but which commercial media won't follow of it's own accord due to it being unprofitable.
Both in regards to US style narcissistic attention seekers and politically motivated terror attacks.

If there's an increase in attacks then it doesn't make sense to just put it down to there being more evil people than there used to be. Why are there more evil people than there used to be?

The problem is framing it in such a way that removes responsibility from perpetrators. The economy affects everybody. Why is it that plenty of men get divorced and have shitty jobs but don't drive their vehicles into a crowd? It is not a sufficient explanation, obviously, but people act like it's the primary contributor instead of the straw that broke a very evil camels back.

It is always down to individual responsibility but if more individuals are acting that way then I think it's at least worth looking into whether something could be tipping them over the edge even if they operate quite close to it normally.

China has a long history of violent attacks on government officials too. It comes down to the corrupt government system that does not allow legal or political opposition. Therefore, often the only outlet left is violence. Especially farmer used to attack government officials. These events are censored in China. The new wave of violence often is also around legal acts, where you cannot ever challenge corrupt decisions that will destroy your life.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

did the attackers, in any of the events, leave any kind of note or statement that would allude to his motivations?
