    Massacres in China spark calls for support and understanding to avoid repeat

    Following a wave of mass killings in China, the country’s legal professionals are calling for better mental health and social resources, while urging authorities to uncover the deeper reasons behind the attacks.

    On the evening of November 11, a the car hit a crowd of people exercising at a sports center in the southern city of Zhuhai, killing 35 people and injuring 43 others. The suspect, who attempted suicide, was quickly taken away by police and is being treated in hospital. Police said at the time that he may have been motivated by anger over a recent divorce settlement.
    Before the public had a chance to recover from the shock, the country was faced with its second massacre in less than a week. A knifeman killed eight people and injured 17 others at a middle school in Yixing, eastern Jiangsu province, on November 16.

    The 21-year-old suspect had studied at the institute and police said he was unhappy with his low salary during a factory internship.

    Three days later, a SUV hit group of parents and children outside a primary school in Changde, central Hunan province. Local police reported that several children were injured and required hospitalization, but no deaths were recorded. The suspect is a 39-year-old man named Huang.

    Some people wonder if these attacks were consistent. Chinese authorities generally refer to them as “isolated incidents” or focus solely on the suspects’ personal motivations, such as divorce or unemployment.
