he number of “trained jihadist fighters” intercepted trying to re-enter China rose dramatically last year, posing a growing challenge for the country, according to Chinese government security and diplomatic advisers.
The sources did not specify total numbers but said the increase reflected a higher threat, particularly to China’s western region of Xinjiang.
But one London-based analyst said it was difficult to assess the extent of the threat without absolute figures.
Addressing an international relations forum in Beijing late last month, Ji Zhiye, head of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said China faced a “prominent” risk of a terror attack.
“The number of jihadists captured on China’s borders [in 2017] was more than 10-fold the number of the previous year,” Ji said.
He estimated that around 30,000 jihadists who had fought in Syria had left the war-torn country and returned to their home countries, including China.
Ji’s estimates were echoed by Li Shaoxian, director of the China-Arab Research Institute at Ningxia University. He told a forum at Renmin University on Saturday that Xinjiang was facing “severe” terrorist threats.
China has been on higher alert for terror attacks since the second half of 2015 when Islamic State expanded into Central Asia and Southeast Asia, including setting up bases in the Philippines and Indonesia.

P!
Islam: A defunct religion that ended in the early 21st. century after the Peoples Republic of China launched a nuclear attack on Mecca following a Jihadist terror attack in Beijing.
Islam is not a country with assets that can be destroyed. It is 1.5 billion people, each of which is empowered to do as much or as little to forward the ideology as is in their power. As a matter of fact, there are significant portions of those people who believe symbols like Mecca and Medina are holding them back and as a result, should be destroyed.
When dealing with something as large and diverse as Islam there is no magic, easy solution.
And your point is? How about bombing Qom? Confine them all to their countries with immigration stopped. Deportation works. Ok so it takes time.
Correct. It must be defeated militarily economically spiritually and the only real way to combat Islam is faith in Christ or the Buddha or some real faith in the true God and love to counter the hate and Satan
The emptiness of Europe is an open door that Islam has walked through
Now that the evil surreptitious islamophile Bammy is gone and we have a true president and true Christian who clearly knows the evil of Islam
Will we now be truly engaged in this battle of tours 21st century
Trump gets things done. He will work fast.
