Zhuhai's Vulnerable Targets of Car-Ramming Attack

Following a car-ramming attack in Zhuhai on November 11, local governments have been instructed to closely monitor individuals who are considered vulnerable due to their socio-economic circumstances. These "si wu wu shi" individuals, as defined by the Chinese government, lack a spouse, children, stable income or assets, and may be experiencing investment failures, relationship discord, psychological imbalances, and mental health issues. The tight controls on press freedom in China have limited media coverage of the incident, leaving room for speculation and misinformation to spread.
