Someone decided to take their frustration out on random people. Much more common in the U.S. than China, but western media jumps at the chance to frame it in the worst possible ways. Got to stoke that sinophobia.

Ah, that makes sense. Of course everyone's jumping on the train but takes daily shootings in the US as granted.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

China collapses in about 100 different ways every week, if Western media were to be believed.
A quick look on Xinhua and Global Times turns up nothing about an attack like you describe. There was a knife attack at a vocational school and a car ramming attack at a sports center in the last few days. Criminal investigations are proceeding as one would expect in, well, any country.
And a word about Chinese response to deadly attacks: when Uyghur separatists were doing that the response was a huge education, integration, and investment program in Uyghur communities. No such attacks have happened in years as a result of meeting people where they're at and making their lives materially better.
Secular apocalypse: this type is also known as the ‘China doomer’ approach, in which someone seeks to predict yet again the apocalyptic crash of China’s economic and political system. One of the earlier works that set the tone was Gordon Chang’s The Coming Collapse of China (2001), although one can trace such fantasies back to the establishment of the People’s Republic in 1949. If one is fond of recycling this narrative, then it is quite easy to get such a work published in one or another less than reputable press. Every year a new title or more appears proposing a ‘collapse’ or ‘crisis’, focusing on whatever aspect takes the author’s fancy, but each time recycling the old Judaeo-Christian myth of the apocalyptic end of the world. As this tradition makes clear, the weary repetition of such predictions does not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of those who propagate them.
