As I posted in the Forum when someone pointed out the cleaver attack:

When I lived in Hong Kong, the meat cleaver was the weapon of choice for everything from fights over girls, drugs, mahjong game gone awry, aberrant wives, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Not a day would go by where The South China Morning Post would not carry a story about a "chopper" atttack as it was referred to over there. This is just a Chinese thing.
Choppers (cleavers) are handy. Every kitchen has one or maore and they sit out there in the open ready at a moments notice to chop up a chicken or your husband/wife.
