After a man with a kitchen cleaver hacked to death NINE people at a kindergarten in Northern China this week. This is the countries fifth stabbing school attack in a month, and because of this Chinese authorities have removed the news story from television broadcast and banned it from the internet, they are doing this to try to cut down on “copy cat” attacks that authorities are believing are causing the string of bizarre attacks.
China is also removing these headlines because of the upcoming World Expo, which 80 million people over a 6 month period are expected to go to China. A survey of China’s English-language newspapers by AOL news shows no top headlines about attacks either on may 13th or the previous Wednesday.
The name of the attacker is not known, but the assailant walked calmly into an elementary school on May 13th and butchered 7 kindergarten students and 2 adults then calmly returned home and commited suicide.
Opinion: This is a very tragic story, China has recently been going through a phase of school stabbing incidents, and for some reason most of them are very young children, these are the types of stories that are so important to report about but no one wants to hear about, stories like this make me realize the world has a very dark side.
