– Four American Educators Stabbed In China:
Four American college instructors from a small Iowa college were stabbed in broad daylight during a teaching trip to China, highlighting the increasing dangers abroad amid rising Sino-US tensions. Beijing says the incident was “isolated,” and foreigners are safe there.
The four educators are from Cornell College, a private liberal arts college in Mount Vernon, Iowa. The school’s president, Jonathan Brand, told CNN the educators were involved in a “serious incident” during a daytime visit to a public park.
“We have been in contact with all four instructors and are assisting them during this time,” Brand said.
The injured educators were walking with faculty members from the school’s Chinese partner school, Beihua University, when the incident occurred in the northeastern Chinese city of Jilin.
