Interpreting China’s School Attacks
The attacks on schoolchildren in China began in March, when a doctor in Nanping burst into a primary school and slashed to death eight young students.
In the months since, Chinese have looked on in horror as versions of that attack have been repeated – seemingly at random – all over China. An angry man, a knife, a cleaver, a kindergarten, and suddenly – bloody mayhem.
At least seventeen have been killed, and scores wounded. China’s premier is addressing the problem in public.
This Hour, On Point: social pressures, political pressures, and what’s going on with attacks on children in China.
