As the Russians dealt with the Somali pirates (glub-glub-glub), the Muslim jihadist types best realize that the Chinese do not care about world opinion, miranda rights or other assorted BS. They will grind you into dust without a care or concern. It’d be great if we had the same mindset while fighting a war for our survival.
The Chinese have successfully fended off the Muslims for 1000 years.
I don’t see that changing.
They will do what they feel is necessary, and not apologize to anyone.
Most of the Muslim minority in China have been badly treated by ethnic Hans and very few are radicalized. My cousin who has visited that area of western China worries that the harsh treatment of all minorities, particularly Tibetans and Uighurs, will foment unrest in later years.
The Uighurs he knows are mostly professionals and not very religious. Like the Tibetans, they would like more control of their own communities in what is supposed to be an autonomous region. However, Han migrants are replacing Uighurs on apartment waiting lists and that is just one thing causing friction.
