This is my first post on Lemmy.
I also use Reddit, but this particular post couldn't get through on Reddit.
The format of the post was written using ChatGPT. My English is poor, making normal communication difficult, so I can't enjoy English interactions. That's why I haven't responded to or interacted with any replies.
I swear everything I said is true. If you want to know more, it's easy to find various news articles that can verify the authenticity of my post, as these situations have been occurring frequently in China over the past two years.
For general questions, I would ask on platforms I'm familiar with, but this question couldn't possibly be successfully posted on Chinese forums, which is why I'm asking here.
I was a bit emotional while editing the post, and I apologize for that.
It's very close to a US election and people are being bombarded with highly emotionally charged stories and political information all day and everyone is a bit on edge currently. There's also a pretty large amount of sinophobia on this platform in general too. I don't have an answer to your question, but please try not to take what others might say too personally.
Alright, thank you for your suggestion. I don't intend to lead anyone into any politically-related discussions. I'm simply hoping to obtain logical explanations from a psychological or sociological perspective, from the standpoint of ordinary people, regarding these dangerous incidents. I truly don't have experience communicating in English-language forums. I will learn more and pay closer attention in the future.
You've done nothing wrong, however even if your question is not political certain people will try to make it political. Things will calm down a bit in about a month.
A lot of details regarding day to day Chinese life is not available to the Western world. You may have trouble finding an answer that's based on actual evidence, but people are very similar despite where they live and their motives will be comparable. People here will definitely be able to help you in that regard.
