#1 Many Chinese Islamist crazies were trained at the Islamic University at Lahore. They began appearing in western China in the early 1990s and are thought to have provided the leadership for the student revolts of that decade.
For years Saudi Arabia has cooperated with China in the exchange of intelligence; the importance of the oil market cannot be denied.

#9 Uighurs became Islamified around the 13th C. They pogromed their Christians during WWII, when the Chinese Govt was busy with the Japanese.

The Communists colonized Han culture all over the Western provinces, forcing a lot of locals out of the good jobs. The Han can give the Arabs good competition for most racist ethnic group.

So you have a breeding ground for seething in Uighur country.
