"Behind these recent violent attacks, I see grassroots people with issues who have a lot of pent-up anger and stress," said Zhao Liangshan, a partner in the Xi'an-based Shaanxi Hengda Law Firm who specializes in marriage-related lawsuits and financial disputes. This highlights a growing sentiment among individuals feeling disillusioned and frustrated with societal pressures as economic troubles rise.
In repeated announcements in recent weeks, the Chinese government has vowed to take decisive action to prevent future attacks- but using its security agencies to contain complaints rather than alleviating people's underlying economic concerns.
Although widespread social unrest is almost inconceivable in China because of the all-encompassing security apparatus, analysts say that Beijing is increasingly concerned about localized social instability and is clearly taking these incidents seriously.
