President Xi Jinping has called for strict punishment of the perpetrator, about whom authorities have provided little information.

Summary

Chinese authorities heavily censored discussion of a deadly car attack in Zhuhai, removing tributes and controlling social media coverage.

The incident, which killed 35 people, was one of China’s deadliest in a decade.

Despite the government’s efforts to suppress information, videos and articles about the attack circulated outside the country’s internet firewall.

Critics warn such censorship suppresses emotions, risking further instability.
