35 Killed in Deadly Car Ramming in Zhuhai, China

A tragic incident occurred in Zhuhai, China, where a driver deliberately rammed into a crowd, resulting in the deaths of at least 35 people and injuring 43 others. The attack took place at a sports center, marking one of the deadliest mass killings in the country in a decade. In the aftermath, Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for all-out efforts to treat the injured, while the government has faced criticism for its response, including censorship and the clearing of memorials for the victims. This surge in violent attacks raises concerns about mental health issues amid economic struggles and has prompted officials to investigate the circumstances surrounding such acts, including marital disputes. The event has sparked widespread outrage and led to heightened security measures nationwide.
