In Suzhou, China, an unemployed man recently attacked a Japanese mother and son, resulting in a fatal injury to a Chinese teacher who bravely tried to stop the assailant. The attacker had a history of mental illness and carried out the assault as part of a premeditated plan, possibly due to frustration from the economic slowdown in China, as suggested by foreign media analysis. Over the past month, China has seen several knife attacks, with perpetrators mainly being middle-aged unemployed individuals, raising concerns about rising xenophobia fueled by nationalist sentiment among Chinese livestreamers seeking to gain viewership.
