#1 FTA:

In short, far from suppressing the violence, China’s war on terrorism appears to be inflaming it and broadening the terrorists’ base of supporters and sympathizers. By contrast, the violence committed by the Uyghurs appears to be highly targeted at Chinese authorities, Han Chinese, and Uyghurs that support Beijing. This is consistent with their goals of dissuading Han Chinese from living in Xinjiang province, as well as provoking China into an overreaction that will further alienate the Uyghur population.

Wikipedia states 10 million Uyghurs in the PRC, 1240 million Han Chinese in the same country. I wonder how this will turn out.

#3 provoking China into an overreaction that will further alienate the Uyghur population.

Getting someone to kick your ass seems to be a popular strategy nowadays. (see Gaza, for example). However, to work it relies on two things:
1) The Western press getting spin up about your issue
2) A nation-state that gives a flip about Western opinion.

Ima thinkern #2 is gonna be the issue with the Chicoms.

#7 The Chinese know something about terrorism. Mao started as a terrorist. China doesn't have the same restraints that the West imposes on themselves.

#8 By contrast, the violence committed by the Uyghurs appears to be highly targeted at ~~Chinese authorities, Han Chinese, and Uyghurs that support Beijing~~ everyone else.

A rather large value of "highly targeted".

#9 China's concern about separatists, rebels and agitators goes back 2,000 years, maybe more. The old mandarin civil service exams would pose questions on how to manage these issues, that the candidate would have to answer in Classical Chinese verse, with quotations from Chinese classics. They were graded on everything from the quality of their thinking to that of their handwriting. Uyghurs being outnumbered 120:1 by the Han majority, won't be that much of a problem. If the Han majority gets upset, that WILL be a problem.

#10 Seems to me that china has an overly large number of military age males. A ground war could solve a number of problems.

#11 [RISE OF "RED STAR" TURBAN here].

AFAIC just another Artic showing why PUTIN took over the Crimea.

Iff the OWG Globalists + Globalist Obama aren't careful, all of those OWG Co-Superpowers desired to be lead proposed future Global Fed Unions could very easily end up being conquered by Radical Islam - NUKES, TANKS, STRIKE AIR, + ALL!
