China Executes Two Men for Deadly Attacks That Claimed Over 40 Lives

The two unrelated incidents in November 2024 involved a car-ramming attack in Zhuhai and a knife assault in Wuxi, prompting swift judicial action.

Two separate attacks in November 2024 left over 40 people dead and dozens injured in Zhuhai and Wuxi, China.
A 62-year-old man in Zhuhai drove his car into a crowd at a sports center, killing 35 and injuring 43, reportedly due to grievances over a divorce settlement.
In Wuxi, a man attacked individuals on a vocational school campus with a knife, killing eight and injuring others, allegedly motivated by failing an academic examination.
Both men were sentenced to death in December 2024 after being convicted of endangering public safety and other charges.
The executions, reported by China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency, reflect the country’s strict judicial measures for acts of mass violence.
