   Background from the article:

   *Analysts have said that a spate of violent attacks in recent months could point to aggravated social tensions as the China grapples with slowing economic growth that has led to job losses and dented household incomes.*

   *In May, two people were killed and 10 injured in an attack at an elementary school in south-eastern Jiangxi province. The same month, an assailant killed two people and injured 21 at a hospital in Yunnan.*
   *In June, a deadly attack targeted a school bus full of Japanese children in Suzhou, while a separate rampage killed three people in a metro station in Shanghai.*
   *In July, a 64-year-old man killed three people with a knife and injured one in Shenyang, in north-eastern Liaoning province, while in September, a man stabbed a boy walking to a Japanese school in Shenzhen, in southern China. The boy died the next day in hospital.*

   And all this without an ongoing society destabilizing social media cyberattack which the Western democracies are under, since China had closed off their net.

2. A video from polyMatter “What Xi Jinping Fears More than America” highlights this problem.

   The worse thing for china are young people that can’t get a job, this is what can topple a regime.

3. You got adjust per capita and compare with USA, Europe or Japan. But yeah I he CCP will have to start to care about the mental health of his people. You can’t squeeze them forever if the money stop flowing.

4. Can’t wait for this thread to be full of comments (from americans) about how China’s oppressive government and repressive culture are the cause of this while casually ignoring we have the same problem…
