ZHUHAI, China (Reuters) -Authorities in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai removed wreaths, candles and bottles of Chinese alcohol, offerings laid at the scene of the deadliest mass killing in the country in a decade, as the government scrambled to respond and censor online outrage.

Makeshift memorials have been cleared at the site of a deadly car ramming attack in the Chinese city of Zhuhai. Chinese authorities had already scrubbed social media after people complained of the attack response.
