BEIJING, Nov 14 — China’s economic malaise is fuelling social tensions that make people more likely to commit violent crimes out of anger or desperation, analysts say, after the country witnessed its deadliest massacre in a decade.
The country has experienced a spate of violent attacks this year, challenging Beijing’s proud reputation for public order and prompting online soul-searching about the state of society.
On Monday, a man ploughed a car into crowds at a sports complex in the southern city of Zhuhai, killing 35 and wounding 43, according to official figures.
It followed a string of similar crimes as China struggles to revive economic growth, keep people employed and boost confidence since it ended rigid Covid curbs in late 2022.
“The recent spate of violent attacks in China is a reflection of its worsening social and macroeconomic conditions,” said Hanzhang Liu, an assistant professor of political studies at Pitzer College in the United States.

I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
