Muslims in Beijing.
I’d bet money on it.
I wouldn’t. Lot of Anti US sentiment running through China because of the way their economy has been hit and the Chicom media is doing everything it can to blame the US for it.
While I agree it fits that pattern, it's highly unlikely. China does NOT welcome them. Not in the slightest.
Why?
China is losing a trade war with the USA.
Secondly President Trump has doubled down on his tough trade stand with China. Its not merely political posturing posing as the Chinese first thought, like presidents of the last forty years or so.
Thirdly Russia will be cooperating with the USA in this trade war with China for similar economic reasons in order to gain most favored nation trade status with the USA and minimize US competition for the supply of energy to Europe, along with the goal to minimize US troop build up in Europe as a result of the Russian annexation of Crimea.Thus the newly arranged state visit by Putin to the White House ( note how the left and Never Trumpers are ape shit over this, they know the big picture and are under pressure from US Corporations which have been assisting the sell out of America to China.)
Fourthly, the USA is now negotiating directly with North Korea to end its status as a Red China puppet government as China fights back by circumventing its agreement with the USA to temporarily cease energy supply to North Korea by making fuel transfers at sea rather than delivering to North Korea ports. China means to keep North Korea enslaved and nuclearized, but it is slowly losing that battle as well to the carrot / stick approach by PDJT.Rocket Man wants to be very rich and free of China giving him orders.
China is losing all around, and it now will begin using violence, surgically at first, against the USA near the Spratly Islands, and at US Embassies around the world.Next watch for Chinese government staged demonstrations and riots at the corporate headquarters of US companies in China.
The Red Chinese simply want to continue draining America of capital and jobs to weaken the West so that it can rule the world as it believes it has the right to do as an allegedly superior civilization. That's not happening under PDJT, and this has the Chinese royally pissed.We no longer will have pantywaists as presidents.The progressive sell out of America is at an end.
The China bomb and the coming demonstrations are designed to fuel MSM caterwauling to strengthen the alleged political movement against PDJT at home( the myth that PDJT is not fit to be president for electoral purposes, China hopes that PDJT will disappear) via MSM propaganda. The Chinese are experts at propaganda.
In short, the China fat is now in the fire.They are losing it.
A Muslim who dares to go jihadhi in Beijing risks the total obliteration of the town or village he came from. They do not dare.They do not bomb in China.Not likely a Muslim, but it would make a good cover story for the Chinese government. China has the duty to protect the US Embassy and its delegation, and at the very least is "failing" to do so on purpose.
If I were a US corporation heavily invested in China, I would be getting ready to leave very soon. Go to Australia instead and compete with the Chinese there.

Do you remember that time within the past few years, when so many Chinese people were destroying Japanese products in protest? The PLA started broadcasting through entertainment—movies and the like—that the Japanese people were really Chinese people who will be returned to the fold (China) one way or another.
And yes, the Yellow River flows out to the sea (and the world). Some of that in Chinese entertainment going way back. We Americans still can’t wrap our heads around empire by any name and what it means to people some of the other cultures (e.g., the belief that one nation or another will do it regardless).
Article said that he self-identified as “Jiang” from Inner Mongolia. Most likely Han? If so, that really narrows things down (not, haha). Hui are only a very small minority there, so Muslim? Possibly, but you know that they’re in the doghouse (American figure of speech) and tend to be closely observed when deviating from routines.
There was smoke reported outside the embassy, and police referred to it as a firecracker. Looks like a simple black powder bomb, maybe.
I can’t speculate on it at all. It appears to be a desperate act of a crazy man. He was not a pro, unless we’re getting incorrect info from the local authorities there.
I don’t know, there is very little tolerance for Muslims in China, they are not looked upon very favorably by many people there, at the from my experience talking with folks from there.
Probably homegrown crazies.
And Chinese Intelligence service knew nothing about it.......
