Bus attacks show the need for balanced development and social justice so that the least advantaged also enjoy benefits of growth

Police have confirmed that the fire on a bus in Guangzhou, capital of southern Guangdong province, on Tuesday was "man made".

The fire killed two and injured 32, at least eight of whom are in a critical condition. The 25-year-old suspect, a Hunan native surnamed Ou, is reported to have confessed to police that he set fire to the bus because he wanted to "take revenge on the society" after he lost money gambling. He is now in detention and police are investigating the incident further.
