China on Monday (Jan 20) executed a man who killed 35 people in a car rampage in the southern city of Zhuhai in November, in the country's deadliest mass attack in years. On Nov 11, Fan Weiqiu, 62, deliberately drove a small SUV through crowds of people exercising outside a sports complex, also injuring 45 in China's worst such crime since 2014.
He was sentenced to death last month, with a court saying his motives "were extremely vile, (and) the nature of the crime extremely egregious". State broadcaster CCTV said on Monday a Zhuhai court "executed Fan Weiqiu in accordance with the execution order issued by the Supreme People's Court".
The municipal public prosecutor "sent personnel to supervise (the execution) in accordance with the law", CCTV reported.

Isn’t that the normal amount of deaths for the average Chinese driver ?

He tried to kill himself with a knife and fell into a coma. He was revived. How did China execute him? Organ harvesting.

Violent crime is generally rarer in China than many Western countries ...
November 11 crime. January 20 execution. Perhaps there is a link between that and the rare violent crime rate in China?
