China school knife attack kills at least 8, wounds 17, days after fatal car attack killed dozens

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.
