中国東部の江蘇省にある職業教育を行う学校で16日、刃物を持った男に襲われて8人が死亡、17人がけがをしました。中国では公共の場所での殺傷事件などが後を絶たず、当局は社会に動揺が広がらないよう神経をとがらせています。

現地の警察の発表によりますと、江蘇省無錫にある職業教育を行う学校で現地時間の16日午後6時半ごろ、刃物を持った男に襲われて、8人が死亡、17人がけがをする事件が起きました。

警察は21歳の容疑者の男をその場で拘束したということです。

警察の初期段階の捜査によりますと、男はこの学校に通っていましたが、試験で不合格となり卒業証書を得られなかったことや、実習での報酬に対する不満をはらそうと犯行に及んだとみられるということです。

上海にある日本総領事館によりますと、被害者の中に日本人はいないということです。

事件が起きた学校のホームページによりますと、この学校は陶磁器づくりを教える職業教育の施設として1933年に創設され、今では、デザインや経済など幅広い学科が開設されているということです。

中国では、今月11日にも南部の広東省珠海で暴走した車が大勢の人をはね、35人が死亡する事件が起きるなど、人が集まる公共の場所での殺傷事件などが後を絶たず、当局は社会の動揺が広がらないよう神経をとがらせています。

Jiangsu Province of China:  a man with knife caused 8 dead 17 injured at school, the man was arrested

On the 16th, a man with a knife attacked a vocational school in Jiangsu Province in eastern China, killing 8 people and injuring 17. In China, there had been a series of murders and injuries in public places, and authorities were on high alert to prevent unrest from spreading to society.

According to local police, a man with a knife attacked a vocational school in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, at around 6:30 pm local time on the 16th, killing 8 people and injuring 17.

Police had arrested a 21-year-old suspect on the spot.

According to the police's initial investigation, the man attended the school, but was believed to have committed the crime in order to vent his dissatisfaction with failing the exam and not receiving a graduation certificate, as well as the remuneration for training.

According to the Japanese Consulate-General in Shanghai, there were no Japanese among the victims.

According to the website of the school where the incident occurred, the school was founded in 1933 as a vocational education facility to teach ceramic making, and now offered a wide range of subjects including design and economics.

In China, there had been a series of murders and injuries in public places, including the incident on the 11th of this month in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province in the south, when an out-of-control car hit a crowd of people, killing 35 people, and authorities were on high alert to prevent social unrest from spreading.

              So, following the social violence happened on the 11th of this month in Guangdong Province that caused the death of 35 people, this time a man with a knife attacked a vocational school in Jiangsu Province, killing 8 people and injuring 17. I am wondering what action will the government take to suppress the spread of social violence.
