Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

A knife attack at Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology in Yixing, Jiangsu province, left 8 dead and 17 injured on Saturday.

The suspect, a 21-year-old former student who failed to graduate, confessed to carrying out the attack to “express his anger.”

This follows a deadly SUV attack in Zhuhai earlier this week, where 35 were killed and over 40 injured.

While knife violence is not uncommon in China due to strict firearm controls, the frequency and severity of recent attacks have raised concerns.

We need to arm good people with knives so they can stop the bad people with knives.

In a knife fight the loser dies in the streets, the winner on the way to hospital.

I think they are. I mean all over. They must be taking a break, because I don’t see the usual banter. I guess if the west falls they are out of a job.

Who knows maybe some of the propaganda they push in the western countries is leaking back to them.

Or maybe there are just shitty humans everywhere irrespective of borders?

But if that were true, we couldn't simply blame the [Insert outgroup here] for everything anymore!
