Soaring divorces & injustice: a tragedy that exposes China's cracks

.

A 62-year-old man rammed his SUV into a crowd at a Zhuhai sports complex, killing dozens and injuring many. His motive? A bitter divorce and the injustice of a corrupt legal system. This tragedy highlights the deep cracks in China's economy, judiciary, and social fabric. With a divorce rate exceeding 43%—and higher in some cities—broken marriages are symptomatic of broader societal issues, from economic pressures to social injustice. This incident isn't just about one man's revenge—it's a mirror reflecting China's systemic failures. Join me as I explore why Chinese divorces are soaring, and we’ll untangle the reality of a nation battling economic turmoil, social distrust, and a broken judicial system.
