On November 11, Fan Weiqiu, 62, deliberately drove a small SUV through crowds of people exercising outside a sports complex, also injuring 45 in China&#8217;s worst such crime since 2014 He was sentenced to death last month, with a court saying his motives &#8220;were extremely vile, (and) the nature of the crime extremely egregious&#8221;. State broadcaster\u00a0<em>CCTV\u00a0<\/em>said Monday a Zhuhai court &#8220;executed Fan Weiqiu in accordance with the execution order issued by the Supreme People&#8217;s Court&#8221;. The municipal public prosecutor &#8220;sent personnel to supervise (the execution) in accordance with the law&#8221;,\u00a0<em>CCTV<\/em>\u00a0reported. Fan&#8217;s attack sparked widespread public shock and soul-searching in China about the state of society. He was detained at the scene with self-inflicted knife wounds and fell into a coma, police said at the time. At his trial last month, Fan pleaded guilty in front of some of the victims&#8217; families, officials and members of the public, state media said. The court found he &#8220;decided to vent his anger&#8221; over &#8220;a broken marriage, personal frustrations, and dissatisfaction with the division of property after divorce&#8221;. It concluded that the methods he used were &#8220;particularly cruel, and the consequences particularly severe, posing significant harm to society&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second execution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Violent crime is generally rarer in China than in many Western countries, but the country saw a string of mass casualty events last year. Stabbings and car attacks challenged the ruling Communist Party&#8217;s reputation for strict public security and crime prevention. They also carried a shock factor that led some to question perceived social ills such as frustration with a slowing economy, high unemployment and diminishing social mobility. <em>CCTV<\/em>\u00a0reported on Monday that a separate court in eastern Jiangsu province had carried out the death penalty on a man who killed eight people and wounded 17 in a mass stabbing in November. Xu Jiajin, a 21-year-old former student who attacked a vocational school in the city of Wuxi, was executed &#8220;in accordance with the law&#8221;, CCTV reported. He too had been sentenced to death in December, with the court concluding that his crime was &#8220;extraordinarily serious&#8221;,\u00a0<em>CCTV<\/em>\u00a0said. Xu was permitted to &#8220;meet with his close relatives&#8221; before his execution, the broadcaster added. China classifies death penalty statistics as a state secret, but rights groups including Amnesty believe the country executes thousands every year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- China on Monday executed a man who killed 35 people in a car rampage in the southern city of Zhuhai in November, in the country&#8217;s deadliest mass attack in years.
