China boosts security after recent attacks

Local authorities in China are increasing safety measures and police patrols following a series of high-profile mass killings, with the central government calling for stronger public security.
In Wuxi, where a stabbing spree on November 16 left eight dead and 17 injured, local officials met to discuss social stability, with campus safety a key focus. This comes just days after a deadly attack in Zhuhai on November 11, where a man killed 35 people by driving into a crowd, reportedly due to a dispute over his divorce.
In Changsha, Hunan province, local officials reviewed public safety efforts following a third attack in the region on November 19, which raised further concerns about violence.
The Supreme Court and Ministry of Justice have also held meetings, addressing social security, mental health, and conflicts related to marriage, family, and property.
