Knife Attack in China on National Day Leaves 3 Dead and 15 InjuredIn Shanghai, China, a knife attack at a supermarket a day before a week-long national holiday left 3 people dead and 15 injured. According to the foreign news agency AFP, local police in the Songjiang district stated that a 37-year-old attacker named Lin has been detained. Initial police investigations suggest that Lin went to Shanghai to vent his anger over a financial dispute. This knife attack occurred just one day before China’s National Day “Golden Week,” a period expected to see an increase in travelers. There has been a rise in public knife attacks in China over the years, with authorities attributing this trend to mental health issues, often targeting children in schools. In September, a 10-year-old Japanese student was killed in a knife attack just a meter away from his school in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.
