Summary

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has ordered strict measures to prevent “revenge on society crimes,” a term for recent mass killings sparked by personal grievances.

Incidents like a Zhuhai attack killing 35 people and a Hunan school stabbing have highlighted societal pressures and feelings of injustice that “this society is very unfair and they can’t bear it anymore.”

Authorities now aim to monitor disputes in families, marriages, and workplaces, raising concerns over increased surveillance and repression.

Critics warn such controls could mirror China’s COVID-era policies, fueling public resentment and a “vicious cycle” of stricter measures and backlash.

Media censorship further obscures the issue.

Chinese citizens: I can’t take it anymore, this society is so unfair!

Chinese government: ok, we can just go ahead and increase surveillance and harass you about any little infraction some more.

Well, that's all they can do. Authoritarianism is a one way street. If shit goes south, you turn up the dial.

You can start with denouncing the worst mass killer in Chinese history: Mao

Unironically. People don’t drive trucks into malls, schools and kindergartens every day just because they can’t find a job or because of social injustice. The toxic cocktail of hateful propaganda they’ve been force fed their whole life just doesn’t mix well with their current reality of constant suppression from the state. The CCP has created a generation of monsters that they can no longer control. The mass killers don’t value life because life doesn’t feel real. Because it’s all a big fat lie.

I am sure that there can be no other motivation behind Xi yet again increasing the surveillance state.

This kind of problem can only occure if there is a deep rooted evil lurking in the hearts of the people. An evil that was taught to them by the brainwashing of the CCP.
