[People News] In the "safest country" in the world, multiple public murders have occurred in broad daylight over the past few days, involving attacks with knives and car-ramming incidents, causing numerous casualties. Analysts point out that fairness, justice, and institutional mechanisms in mainland China are severely lacking. In an environment of economic decline, oppressive living conditions, and a lack of hope for the future, people who experience injustice harbor deep resentment. This resentment leads them to see society as the root of their grievances, resulting in frequent acts of social retaliation and extreme incidents of mutual harm.
Summary of Nine Murders in 11 Days
Yesterday, November 21, yet another horrifying car-ramming incident occurred in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. Multiple videos circulating online showed a car accelerating and running over pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road on Yuehua Road in Gongbei, Zhuhai. At least two people were seen lying in pools of blood on the spot. The car reportedly traveled another hundred meters, allegedly hitting four more individuals along the way before coming to a stop, with someone seemingly trapped under the wheels. Following the incident, all related videos and images were censored on mainland Chinese social media.
This marks the ninth major violent killing incident since the car-ramming attack in Zhuhai on November 11, which left nearly 80 dead or injured, even after Xi Jinping issued severe directives on addressing such incidents.
On the evening of November 20, reports surfaced online about a double homicide at Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology in Zhejiang Province. Videos showed two individuals lying in pools of blood in a dormitory. While officials have not released any information, students confirmed the incident to the media. The same day, reports from Baoding, Hebei Province, detailed a woman repeatedly running over a pedestrian with an SUV, leading to their death.
Videos from Baoding showed the incident occurred on a road near a shoe store in Dawangdian Town. A woman driving an unlicensed white SUV repeatedly ran over a person lying in the mud. The person filming exclaimed in shock, "She’s insane! That’s the fifth time she’s run over them!"
Later that evening, the Xushui District Public Security Bureau issued a statement via its WeChat account, confirming one death and stating that the case was under investigation.
An alleged insider revealed online that the driver and the victim were neighbors. The driver reportedly had an axe, knives, and gloves in the car. Before running over the victim, she had been driving back and forth on the road, repeatedly observing the scene.
The previous six daytime murder cases include:
November 15: In Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, a man committed a double murder involving dismembering his wife and targeting a village official.
November 16: At Wuxi Vocational and Technical College of Arts and Crafts in Jiangsu Province, a stabbing incident resulted in 25 deaths.
November 17: A stabbing occurred at Suzhou Vocational and Technical College, and the same day, another knife attack was reported at Guangzhou University of Industry in Guangdong Province.
November 18: In Chengdu, Sichuan Province, a man stabbed another to death in a dispute over driving.
November 19: In Changde, Hunan Province, a car-ramming incident outside a primary school injured multiple students.
The CCP’s Countermeasures
Amid a sharp rise in societal hostility and the frequent occurrence of "Zhang Xianzhong" incidents, the CCP appears to recognize the threat these events pose to its regime and has intensified its efforts to address them. Measures include Zhuhai’s investigation of "Four No and Five Lost" individuals (those with no stable income, family, or place to live, and who have lost their jobs, social connections, or control), and rumors of plans to centralize the management of elderly individuals living alone. Online reports suggest that multiple primary and secondary schools in Beijing now have police stationed at their entrances, with a special police vehicle positioned outside Renmin University High School.
In Shanghai, subway stations have initiated drills to prepare for bomb threats and politically sensitive incidents. On November 20, a whistleblower revealed that recent routine drills at Shanghai metro stations included simulations of passengers being taken hostage with knives and discovering suspicious explosive devices. Police officers have also been training subway staff on how to use bomb blankets.
The most frequent drills involve politically sensitive scenarios, such as simulations of "foreign hostile forces and hackers" hacking into electronic advertising screens to display anti-Xi slogans. Staff are trained to use blue police screens to block the message within the first moments and then have IT staff cut power to the screens. All measures are required to be completed within five minutes.
Police have also warned subway staff to be particularly vigilant around Christmas, New Year, and Lunar New Year.
Japanese journalist Akio Yaita commented on Facebook that such measures by the CCP are ineffective and will not prevent "Zhang Xianzhong incidents" because they fail to address the root causes. Yaita argued that the CCP has lost its ability to control the occurrence of such violent incidents.
Yaita further noted that the CCP's obsession with superficial achievements, from top to bottom, has made Chinese society increasingly opaque, unfair, and unaccountable. Examples include the CCP’s unique "intercepting petitioners" system and the establishment of "black jails." With no proper channels for citizens to express grievances, "Zhang Xianzhong incidents" serve as a direct slap in the face to the CCP’s so-called "Four Confidences," its claims of eradicating poverty, and its goal of achieving a moderately prosperous society. He added, "When people no longer fear death, how can you threaten them with death? Harsh laws and penalties will lose their power to constrain society."
In response to the frequent occurrence of "Zhang Xianzhong incidents," State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong recently stated that public security agencies nationwide must thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping’s directives, adhering to and advancing the "Fengqiao Experience" for grassroots conflict resolution. He emphasized proactive risk prevention, comprehensive inspections, and using integrated governance centers for "one-stop" management of critical areas and social patrols. Wang also stressed the use of "specialized operations, mechanisms, and big data" to enhance the public security system’s new capabilities, improve early risk detection, and efficiently resolve incidents.
However, the CCP’s primary response has been to comprehensively censor all negative or "harmful" information online. Available search results are limited to official announcements and denials of rumors. State media avoids substantive analysis or reporting, leaving the public reliant on vague, "blue-background, white-text" official notices as their only source of updates. For example, the Changde City police announcement failed to disclose the number of injured individuals.
One Weibo user sarcastically wrote, "The true meaning of the blue-background, white-text notices is: What can you do? What do you want to do? Do you dare do anything? They even block foreign media from interviewing witnesses." Another netizen commented, "The so-called 'announcement era' is one where public power expands dramatically while media simultaneously shrinks."
"Zhang Xianzhong" refers to the late-Ming peasant rebel leader who occupied Sichuan. Historical records suggest that as Zhang realized his impending defeat to Qing forces, he began massacring his wives, children, and vulnerable groups. One writer remarked, "He clearly felt that nothing in the world belonged to him anymore, so he started destroying what belonged to others."
Causes Behind the "Zhang Xianzhong Incidents"
Analysts suggest that the root cause of these frequent societal incidents lies in the CCP's authoritarian rule. Under the CCP, society has lost its foundation of fairness and justice. The regime continuously creates conflicts and divisions while producing wrongful cases. Combined with the ongoing economic downturn, these social conflicts are increasingly likely to evolve into political crises threatening the CCP's rule.
Former Chinese human rights lawyer Teng Biao stated that the instability in Chinese society stems from decades of accumulated social contradictions, political corruption, and the lack of basic rights for the people. As the economy declines, social and political tensions that were previously masked by economic growth are now surfacing. He described the CCP's investigative response to violent incidents as "treating the symptoms instead of the cause," blaming marginalized and victimized members of society as the sources of these conflicts.
Commentators Wang Juntao and Shi Shan believe the CCP, which once claimed to represent the working class and relied on the worker-peasant alliance, has now completely lost the support of workers and peasants. They argue that the CCP, which built its power through violence and oppression, has set a precedent that has now been imitated across all levels of society, creating a toxic culture of brutality. "In today’s China, success often depends on who is more ruthless and more vicious. This is extremely frightening," they said.
Experts explain that in a society with strong moral values and a healthy ethical environment, individuals are more likely to handle injustice through self-restraint and emotional regulation rather than resorting to extreme measures. However, the CCP’s systematic destruction of traditional moral systems has created an environment where individuals, when provoked, are more prone to extreme violence, turning their anger toward society in acts of revenge.
