China has a serious problem with the treatment of mental illness.

Really? What's going on in China, for the love of God?

Don't know bro, but it make me worried much more, beside of the nut drivers we have to fight with during the way to KG. It is KG, or Prim.school, always they just random slash. It may be due to hongbao culture things, when he can not place his kid in becausee not enough funds for "adimistration fees" ? Someone with lack selfcontrol, may than come and say - if I can not place him there, let's other feel my pain too. I know, it is chinese logic, but we talk about china ... On the end of the last school year, we have seen always 1-2 military trucks, full of young guys in, surveying around KG and surrounding streets was permanently controlled /driven around by another army or firefighter trucks. Seems it stopped now. but it will take just another attack ... damn, people here are more sick than I have ever imagine before. Really, they can compete with IS jihadist in some extend ...

It is all because of foreign English teachers. Every FT I know has a 3rd grade education. 

All of China's problems can be traced back to FTs!!!

(Next week, all of China's problems will be traced back to Apple, it's their turn)

Nobody tells Chinese people that picking on the weak is the absolute lowest form of cowardice. They take lessons from their leaders, who are petty and cruel to the unprivileged in this country. It's also tied to facesaving and all those other illogical behaviorisms - appearing weak makes you a target.

Back home, I worked in security in open psychiatric clinics, safehouses for women and similar places. Even when people go insane, most of the time there's still some residue of morality which compels them to "pick on someone their own size" rather than attack weak children.

In China, no such value exists. Parents habitually mistreat their children to 'harden' them for life (which doesn't work, since it creates immature people with unfulfilled emotional needs).

So, if you're at your wits end, and decide to go amok Filipino style for maximum casualties, then why not just walk into a classroom of well-behaved Chinese children, lock the door behind you, and start stabbing?

Remember saving face, you insult me and I will attack you type attitude. One guy went nuts, because his daughter was not aloud to go back to school because she didn't complete her summer homework. He repeatedly begged the teacher to let her go, teacher said no. So when school started he went there and started stabbing students rather than having a daughter who probably could have been sent to another school or waited a year or something rather than stabby stabby.

News reports often say these guys are less than successful in life, or have mental problems.

They resent society because they don't have what others have and in their mind that's unfair so they decide to take revenge on the society that denied them what they feel should be theirs, be it a wife, money, social status or whatever.

What's the most cruel and spiteful way  for a pathetic loser to hit back at society? Attack innocent kids.

I think this is what happens when people truly feel they have nothing left and nothing to lose. Not even their humanity. 

In my opinion, a lot of Chinese men are cowards.

They attack children because they know they can't really fight back and want to punish society. I don't understand why they just don't go after government officials or something... some do... but those don't make it in the headlines as much as the nut job cowards that go after the children.
