World The succession of bloody assaults on schools has prompted officials to demand a show of force to deter such attacks, which have angered the Chinese public and stoked criticism of the government. State media reported on Thursday that some schools were being guarded by police wielding submachine guns. Triggers for the attacks have included pent-up grievances over lost jobs, business failures, broken relationships, and a new home that officials had ordered torn down. Villagers in northwest China's Shaanxi province watched on Wednesday as an argument erupted between the attacker, Wu Huanming, 48, and Wu Hongying, a 50-year-old woman who ran the kindergarten where the attack occurred. Wu Huanming, the owner of the two-storey building with a walled, concrete courtyard, wanted the kindergarten to vacate the property when the lease ran out in April, Xinhua news agency said. Wu Hongying wanted to keep the school running until the summer. In rural China, villagers often have the same surname, but may not be closely related. Wu Huanming ran back into his home to grab a cleaver and onlookers were too afraid to stop him, said one villager. "I saw him holding a cleaver up in his right hand. I ran out, there was shouting everywhere," Li Yufen, a resident of rural Nanzheng county, told Reuters. "Then a few women came out, but we were not enough, so I went back into the house. The killer walked straight past me. He glanced at me but walked on and I closed the door and stayed inside." Wu Huanming hacked five boys and two girls to death with the cleaver, and also killed Wu Hongying and her 80-year-old mother. He returned home and committed suicide, Xinhua news agency said. The attacker showed signs of mental disturbance, said one of his relatives. "He's been ill, he has been talking nonsense, not making sense, like he was unbalanced," said the relative, 58-year-old Wu Huangcheng. This was the sixth attack on schoolchildren in China since March -- a succession of attacks that had already prompted calls for more security at schools and worries about the social malaise that some see underneath China's rapid economic growth. Coming soon after the government vowed to protect schools, the latest attack was a blow for the ruling Communist Party, which has long made a tough stance on law and order a part of its claim to authority. China's Ministry of Public Security vowed urgent protection at schools and a "strike hard" campaign against threats. In Changsha, capital of Hunan province in southern China, police have begun guarding schools and kindergartens with submachine guns, a frightening sight for some children, local media reported. (Writing by Lucy Hornby and Chris Buckley; Editing by Ken Wills and Nick Macfie) World Comments See All Comments (7) | Post Comment May 13, 2010 1:29am EDT It is exceedingly hard to believe that so many unassociated individuals have simply snapped and all decided to commit the same horrendous crime. It is also exceedingly hard to believe that anyone capable of suddenly and indiscriminately hacking toddlers to death hasn’t in fact snapped. So I’m perplexed. How can these all be mad men? How could this be an organized plot? There is something here we are not being told and it is difficult to imagine what it could possibly be. Whys Report As Abusive May 13, 2010 1:50am EDT You asked a very good question. Only members of Falun Gong sect are capable of committing this kind of act … Several violent acts also happened before Beijing Olympics 2008 … including a mysterious guy jumping to death after killing of a foreign tourist — who is the father of team USA volleyball coach Ted345 Report As Abusive May 13, 2010 1:57am EDT Madness is madness, I do not see what is so complicated about that. People are going mad, is that hard for you to understand? Or are you greater than God? I want to see you suffer the way they do and have the same nerve to call it an organized plot. Idiot, you have no idea what life is about and I hope you go straight to hell you dirty piece of junk faisal7 Report As Abusive May 13, 2010 2:12am EDT The incidents are not isolated at all. China is increasingly becoming a banana republic. What’s worse, it is a banana republic without any religion. Remember, in the past even banana republics have church organizations, especially catholic churches, that can provide some sort of balance to the political power. But in China there is absolutely no checks and balances on those who have power, money and privilege. Most people do not realize the economic success of China is built on years of modern slavery. Don’t be fooled by the prosperity of Shanghai or Beijing. If you go into the country side, or the concentration camps of factories, you will see the truth. As an example, Foxconn, the manufacturer of iPhone and iPad, located in Shen Zhen, has had six confirmed employee suicides so far this year alone, with two more unsuccessful attempts. jhoosac Report As Abusive May 13, 2010 2:21am EDT These kinds of events are very sad, but the testament that tensions among people are growing. What’s going to happen when the “lower classes” go to Shanghai for this Expo and see what kind of money their government has thrown away for a frivulous event. I wouldn’t be happy either knowing my town still suffered from drought, previous earthquake damage or lack of food but saw Shanghai reeping in all the benefits. smithmk127 Report As Abusive May 13, 2010 2:26am EDT Sociologists say the recent attacks that have left 17 dead and scores wounded reflect the tragic consequences of ignoring mental illness and rising stress resulting from huge social inequalities in China’s fast-changing society. “The perpetrators have contracted a ’social psychological infectious disease’ that shows itself in a desire to take revenge on society,” said Zhou Xiaozheng of Beijing’s Renmin University. “They pick children as targets because they are the weakest and most vulnerable,” Zhou said. The recent attacks are classic “copycat crimes,” the effects of which may be amplified by media coverage, Zhou said. Millions of men cannot find brides because the girls are snuffed at birth. Now add on top of that Once they do get married, they can have only 1 child per law. now add to that latest law making 10,000 woman become sterile to control population. Some men go off the deep end and say if I can’t have children then you should not be allowed to either. It is revenge for their slavery without children and brides. So they attack the very thing those others cherish … to wit they cannot have. A family. I’d say we have an underground movement who feel incapable of getting their message out to the rest of the world and so do what any person who feels at at end does – get some media attention to your cause. Stabbing/harming/killing kids is a sure fire headline catcher and if these men were in cahoots then there is an organised element to their motivations. 11-25-02 Wuchuan City, Guangdong, China A man identified only as Huang put a highly toxic rat poison in the table salt.
