Anti-bullying measures range from checks and inspections,\ to punishments and enhanced supervision.

In April, a 14-year-old girl in Changsha was assaulted by her schoolmates, and the ringleader put videos of the attack online.

State broadcaster China Central Television said on April 27 that the “timing of the checks is just right, given the recent attention paid to the issue in recent days, with the numerous cases highlighted by the media”. State media Xinhua news agency reported on April 16 that the four convicted students, who were between 12 and 13 years old, were given jail sentences of between 10 and 15 years.

And on April 18, eight students in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi autonomous region in western China, forced a classmate to strip in public in a video that was circulated on social media. Assistant Professor Mu Zheng at the department of sociology and anthropology at the National University of Singapore told The Straits Times that the problem of school bullying in China may have grown in recent years, given how more parents are moving away to the cities for work and leaving their children behind with relatives.
