Authorities in Zhuhai removed tributes for victims of a deadly car ramming attack before they could be placed, reflecting a tight grip on information control.
Security personnel cleared flowers and tributes laid by residents at the attack site, citing an "order from the top," underscoring the government's strict handling of public mourning.
Details of the attack emerged slowly, with local police initially downplaying the situation and the state broadcaster ignoring the event entirely, focusing instead on other news.
The attacker, a 62-year-old identified only as Fan, was reportedly motivated by anger over a divorce settlement, highlighting personal grievances leading to extreme violence.
