Incident is an incident of course and shit happens all the time in a city of millions. It’s just good to be aware sometimes. As non-Chinese you are a less than random target. If not racially motivated it is because for a mentally deranged person killing a foreigner will get you ‘noticed’ more. It’s like streaking at the Champions League final rather than just at an amateur game. That’s also the reason why I would advise against getting involved in any street issues. It doesn’t matter how right or helpful you are. You will be a target for some. And in the heat of the moment when all reason is lost and many of the onlookers don’t know what actually happened you will be in a load of trouble.

I didn’t say it wasn’t racially motivated, just that a single incident does not reflect on the entire society. But when a chinese person gets murdered while abroad, the “netizens” collectively shit themselves about how everyone in other countries just hates China.

Its not isolated though, another guy was knifed in the same area a couple of months back and its also the same place where “nobody knows who he was, where he went or what really happened” attempted rapist was kicked round.

There is no mental health system in place, no psychologists with fluffy sofas nor of course Yukou video of this event, so let’s just call a spade a spade, it was obviously a racially motivated attack considering the Chinese/foreigner ratio in that area.

A foreigner is a douchebag on a train here, and the chinese Internet blows up. A Chinese man is randomely murdered by a mentally insane person abroad, and the Chinese Internet is outraged. But Chinese people pissing on the floors of crowded trains, being rude constantly, or a foreigner randomly murdered here, and they are silent… Business as usual. Talk about double standards.

The American media isn’t gonna lose it’s shit about this incident (if they do, I’ll eat my hat). And they shouldn’t. Most people will recognize this for the tragic, isolated incident that it is. Too bad the Chinese media and the “netizens” rarely can do the same.
