Yin Li, the vice minister of Public Health, said China was determined to bolster its mental health care by building hundreds of new facilities.

He said improved treatment for mentally ill patients would reduce the chance of "social disturbances", including the "recent offences by mental patients in some areas" according to the state-owned China News website.



Earlier this year, China suffered a series of copycat attacks on kindergartens, with tens of children being stabbed to death by crazed knifemen. In some of the cases, including the killing of eight children on March 23 in Fujian province, the authorities determined that the attackers had been mentally unstable.
Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister, said that China had to "pay attention to the deeper motives" that led to the attacks.
"China is undergoing a huge social transformation and consequently large numbers of mental patients are emerging because of various social problems," said Jiang Qianjin, a professor of psychology at Zhejiang University.
"From the point of view of maintaining stability, the new hospitals are definitely good news. There are a large number of poor and mentally-unstable people scattered around the country, but the hospitals have had poor facilities and treatment and the attention they were given was far from sufficient."
