Zhuhai car attack kills 35 as driver rams into crowd in southern China

11 Sept 02:27 Key points summarised by AI

A driver intentionally rammed his car into a crowd at a Zhuhai sports centre, resulting in 35 fatalities and 43 severe injuries, marking one of China's deadliest recent attacks.
Police identified the captured 62-year-old driver, Fan, stating his motive stemmed from anger over his divorce settlement's asset division.
Chinese authorities faced criticism for a nearly 24-hour delay in disclosing the incident, alongside swift censorship of social media content and public comments regarding the attack.
The tragedy prompted a massive emergency response, with hundreds of medical and rescue personnel deployed, while President Xi Jinping ordered comprehensive treatment for the injured and severe punishment for the perpetrator.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
