Chinese investigators are, for now, treating the incident as a random attack.
BEIJING – Four American educators from a small Iowa university were reportedly stabbed in a public park in north-east China’s Jilin province on June 10, according to US media and US government officials.
“My brother, David Zabner, was wounded in the arm during a stabbing attack while visiting a temple in Jilin City, China,” he said. “The police have preliminarily judged that this was a random incident, but an investigation is ongoing,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian told reporters at a daily briefing on June 11.
A few remaining posts about the incident on the Chinese social media platform Weibo questioned widespread censorship of the incident in official media. The educators from Cornell College were on a teaching exchange programme with a partner university, Beihua, in Jilin City.
