On June 11, 2024, at 7:46 a.m., footage showed at least 3 individuals lying on the ground, with one wearing a grey shirt laying in a pool of blood and another in blue clothes covering his waist with his hand. It was confirmed that the 4 victims were American citizens teaching in China by Cornell College in Iowa. The U.S. Department of State maintains a Level 3 travel advisory for mainland China, warning of arbitrary detention and exit bans. Chinese media did not extensively cover the incident, with sporadic reports on social media suggesting xenophobia or Boxer-like behavior. The Jilin police identified a suspect named Cui Dapeng and urged prompt capture. While responding to foreign inquiries, the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated it as an isolated incident with ongoing investigation, emphasizing no impact on Sino-American cultural exchanges. Efforts are underway to ensure the victims receive proper medical care and return to the U.S. soon.
