Beijing vows justice after Islamic State executes Chinese captive

China vowed on Thursday to "bring to justice" those responsible for executing one of its citizens after Islamic State said it had killed a Chinese captive, the first and so far only known Chinese hostage held by the group.

Islamic State said it had killed a Norwegian and a Chinese captive, showing what appeared to be pictures of the dead men under a banner reading "Executed" in the latest edition of its English language magazine.

It did not give any details in the online Dabiq magazine, published on Wednesday, about how, when or where the men were killed.

In a brief statement, China's Foreign Ministry confirmed the man's identify for the first time, naming him as Fan Jinghui, saying he had been "cruelly murdered". It said in September one of its citizens appeared to be in Islamic State captivity.

After he was kidnapped, the Chinese government activated an emergency mechanism to try and "rescue" him, but he was still killed in a "cold-blooded way", the ministry said.

"The Chinese government strongly condemns this savage act devoid of humanity and will certainly bring the criminals to justice," it added.

This from the government that performs forced abortions on its own citizens? The irony is breathtaking.

"I’m not opposed to China testing some new weapons on ISIS. Are you?"

Nope. Can't see a downside.

Well, good. Now that all the world’s major players officially hate these goat-humpers, we can get an agreement to just nuke the entire Middle East and be done with these bastards. Be sure to take out Mecca and Teheran while you’re at it.

Now the question is during Armageddon, which side is the US going to be on?

We know which side Barack Hussein al-Obama will be on - the wrong one.

Somehow I don’t think Beijing will respond with a Twitter hashtag.

I’ve thought a fair bit about that, and I think that, depending upon how much havoc the Beast Kingdom wreaks on American soil, the United States could be in such great disarray that the Federal government would be too weak to even matter, in which case there wouldn’t be a Federal-level “We” even capable of taking one side or the other. National governance would be reduced to a patchwork of jurisdictions at the State level, and — in some more dire cases — at the level of the County Sheriffs. In that condition, it wouldn’t be “we” as a nation taking sides, it would be down to me, you and the neighbors down the road taking sides.

So, I guess the take-away is: make sure you evangelize your neighbors and — whether they accept Jesus, or not — make sure they know ya love ‘em like family.

To the Chinese: welcome to the party pal. This world war is the world against moslem.

“the Chinese government activated an emergency mechanism to try and “rescue” him”

Probably an offer to repair, add to and maintain the fiber optic networks they built for Saddam.

Chinese government cares not a whit for any of their citizens.

The entire UN Security Council wants these f*ckers dead.

And every "veto" member.

They'll be dead soon.

I am working on an axiom. It will go along the lines of “eventually when every powerful entity hates you, you get wiped out”.

The only question at the moment, is what powerful entity wants ISIS to thrive? What purpose are they serving? That is the only answer for why they are still extant.

Yes. They will stop, for awhile. The War, is how time is how time is counted. There will always be a War. It has always been, the same War.

one general said just one carrier groups could defeat their combined naval forces.

i just talked to a kid who did a four year navy stint. he says the notion that anyone is close to our capabilities is laughable

Me neither. Let ‘em rip, China.

Hmmm. Perhaps, the war has been resolved- and now we need to become subjects- and realize, we haven’t been citizens, since November, 1963.

The scary thing is I can find no clear mention of the U.S.A. in the Scriptures, much less Armageddon.

And no, we are not Mystery Babylon. Though we do have some of her worst traits, what with Hollywood and leftist agendas, etc.
