China Executes Man for Killing 35 in Zhuhai Car Rampage

China Executes Man Responsible for Deadly Zhuhai Car Rampage

China on Monday executed Fan Weiqiu, a 62-year-old man who killed 35 people and injured 45 others in a deliberate car rampage in Zhuhai, a southern city, last November. The attack, carried out on November 11, is regarded as the country’s deadliest mass attack in recent years.

Fan drove a small SUV through crowds gathered outside a sports complex, targeting individuals exercising in the area. The crime, described as the worst of its kind in China since 2014, was condemned for its “extremely vile motives and egregious nature,” according to a court statement.

Fan was sentenced to death last month. On Monday, the Zhuhai court carried out the execution following an order from the Supreme People’s Court. State broadcaster CCTV reported that the municipal public prosecutor supervised the execution in accordance with the law.

The incident and its swift judicial resolution highlight China’s strict stance on violent crimes that threaten public safety.

China Executes Man for Deadly Zhuhai Car Rampage

China executed 62-year-old Fan Weiqiu on Monday for killing 35 people and injuring 45 others during a deliberate car rampage in Zhuhai last November. The attack, which occurred on November 11, remains one of the country’s deadliest mass crimes in recent years and sparked widespread public shock and introspection about societal issues.

Fan drove an SUV through crowds exercising outside a sports complex, with motives described by the court as “extremely vile” and the crime as “egregious.” He was detained at the scene with self-inflicted knife wounds and later fell into a coma, according to police reports at the time.

During his trial last month, Fan pleaded guilty in the presence of victims’ families, officials, and members of the public. The court sentenced him to death, and the execution was carried out following an order from the Supreme People’s Court.

State broadcaster CCTV reported that the municipal public prosecutor supervised the execution in accordance with the law. The tragedy continues to serve as a grim reminder of the importance of addressing the root causes of such violent acts.

The attack, which occurred on November 11, was one of the deadliest mass crimes in China in recent years and triggered widespread public shock and debate about societal challenges.

The court found that Fan carried out the rampage to “vent his anger” over “a broken marriage, personal frustrations, and dissatisfaction with the division of property after divorce.” It described his methods as “particularly cruel” and the consequences as “particularly severe,” causing significant harm to society.

The case remains a somber reminder of the devastating impact of unresolved personal grievances and violent actions on public safety and society at large.

Second execution

China Executes Two Men for Mass Attacks in Zhuhai and Wuxi

China on Monday executed Fan Weiqiu, 62, for a deliberate car rampage in Zhuhai last November that killed 35 people and injured 45 others. The attack, carried out to “vent his anger” over personal frustrations and a broken marriage, was described by the court as “particularly cruel” with “severe consequences,” significantly harming society. Fan was sentenced to death last month and executed following an order from the Supreme People’s Court.

On the same day, a separate court in Jiangsu province executed Xu Jiajin, a 21-year-old former student who killed eight people and wounded 17 in a mass stabbing at a vocational school in Wuxi last November. State broadcaster CCTV reported that both executions were carried out “in accordance with the law.”

Violent crime is relatively rare in China compared to many Western countries, but the country faced a series of mass casualty events last year, including stabbings and car attacks, which challenged the ruling Communist Party’s reputation for strict public security.

These incidents have also sparked public discourse on underlying social issues, such as frustration with a slowing economy, rising unemployment, and limited social mobility, which may contribute to such acts of violence.

China Executes Two Men for Mass Attacks in Zhuhai and Wuxi

On Monday, China executed 62-year-old Fan Weiqiu for his deadly car rampage in Zhuhai last November, which killed 35 people and injured 45. Fan’s attack, driven by personal frustrations over a broken marriage and property disputes, was deemed “particularly cruel” by the court, with “severe consequences” for society. The Supreme People’s Court ordered his execution, which was carried out in accordance with the law.

In a separate case, 21-year-old Xu Jiajin, who killed eight people and injured 17 in a mass stabbing at a vocational school in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, was also executed on the same day. Xu had been sentenced to death in December, with the court describing his crime as “extraordinarily serious.” Xu was allowed to meet with his close relatives before his execution, CCTV reported.

While violent crime is less common in China compared to many Western countries, a rise in mass casualty events last year, including stabbings and car attacks, has raised concerns about the nation’s public security and underlying societal issues such as economic slowdown, high unemployment, and reduced social mobility.

Though China classifies death penalty statistics as a state secret, rights groups like Amnesty International estimate that the country executes thousands of people each year.
