    color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">Digital Desk: Police in southern China are
    searching for a man who is thought to have attacked a kindergarten in the
    Jiangxi province on Wednesday, killing three people and wounding six more.



    color:black;mso-themecolor:text1">The suspect, who is 48 years old, has the
    last name Liu, according to a police report. There was no other information
    provided in the brief announcement of the attack that took place early on
    Wednesday in the province's Anfu County.

    Since
    it is illegal to carry guns in China, most of these attacks involve knives,
    homemade explosives, or gasoline bombs. About 100 children and adults have
    perished and hundreds have been injured in what seemed to be "lone
    wolf" assaults over the past ten years. These attacks lacked a clear
    cause, and the attackers, most of them were men and were either killed,
    committed suicide, or were put on trial and executed.



     



    Crimes
    against youth resonate particularly loudly in China because to its persistently
    low birth rate, which is partly due to decades of population control
    initiatives.
