On Tuesday, a man drove a vehicle into a crowd in Zhuhai in Southern China, killing at least 35 people. The incident seems to be intentional, and is sparking questions about the Communist Party’s record on public safety. Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered an increase in safety and social stability following the attack. The driver was a 62-year-old man, and he drove a small vehicle into a sports center where civilians were exercising. Under the Communist Party, citizens have accepted expanded surveillance in exchange for social stability.
