Chinese authorities say they have broken up 181 violent terrorist groups in the northwestern region of Xinjiang — and that they are making progress in winning public support for their crackdown on terrorism and Islamic extremism in the region, which has been hit by Muslim violence in recent years.
IB TIMES (h/t Mike F) The crackdown was launched in May of last year after attackers threw explosives into a crowded street market in the region’s capital, Urumqi, killing 39 people. It followed several attacks in public places around China, which authorities said were the work of Islamic separatist groups from Xinjiang.
Among these attacks was one in which 31 people were stabbed to death at a railway station in the southwestern city of Kunming. Xinjiang itself saw several other major attacks last year, including one in July on government buildings in Yarkant county, near the western city of Kashgar, where police saidthey shot dead 59 attackers, while 37 civilians were killed.
There also was a series of bomb attacks in Luntai county in September, when six civilians were reported killed, along with 40 attackers.
Now Xinjiang authorities say their crackdown is yielding results: By the end of April, local officials told Chinese media, 181 groups had been broken up, all but a handful of them (less than 4 percent) before they had chances to carry out any attacks. The reports did not give figures on the number of people detained, but the official People’s Daily newspaper said 112 people had turned themselves in to the authorities voluntarily.
Tensions in Xinjiang have grown in recent years, notably since violent riots in 2009, when members of the region’s main indigenous Muslim group, the Uighurs, attacked mainly ethnic Han Chinese residents in Urumqi, killing at least 197 people.
China says Islamic extremists from across Xinjiang’s border with Central Asian countries have stirred growing Islamization and opposition to Chinese rule in the region, with the tacit support of sharia-supporting Western governments.
Chinese media said the ongoing campaign, which has been extended to the end of this year, was designed to “to root out violent terrorist thought at its source” by targeting gangs, organizers and supporters.
It said police and military police had worked together in the campaign, which had also targeted audio and video recordings that promoted violent terrorism, and had intensified crackdowns on illegal border crossings.
Critics of the campaign have noted that the authorities, in their attempt to root out religious influence, have banned local government officials, civil servants and students in Xinjiang from fasting for Ramadan, called on residents in some areas to hand in their passports and, in one village, insisted that shops sell alcohol, to the dissatisfaction of some Muslim residents.
The authorities have also launched campaigns against women covering their faces, and male students growing beards. Monday’s Xinhua news agency report said the authorities had “vigorously promoted modern living in the region.”
China can easily take actions about this, cause these guys
1. not white
2. honestly couldn’t careless about their reputation (bad or good).
Europe needs to stop thinking about the past and take action, obviously making peace is highly ineffective. You have every rights to protect and care about their people without being a racist. It’s really a rocket science.
Go china go! Kick ass terrorist syariah!
Know your facts you don’t know how awful the Chinese has been to my country you clearly don’t know the other Half of the story they kill my people everyday because we are not Chinese and Muslims and pray at mosque or they will be killed I hope the president of China goes to hell
Flower, good for China.
I hope they disposed of the thousands of corpses in an environmentally responsible manner. Muslims have been demonstrated to be as toxic to the environment as nuclear waste.
Bastards
Islam will fight back and
All of you infidels will rest in a Hell !!!!
Heaven: Made in China
Hell: Made in China
Don’t hald your breath waiting, it’s you muslims that will fry in hell !
Although they conquering Spratley Islands in the Philippines…I salute them for doing this. For everyone who says this is not fair…ask your self this, is terrorism fair and just?…I DARE YOU SAY YES…!!!
Don’t worry about the spratly Island, Chinese don’t want it. We do it because USA gave our island to Japan, it’s just a backlash.
Good. China is my hero.
Native muslims my ass, China doesn’t take their crap, nor does it listen to left wing bull shit, every non muslim country needs to follow China’
s lead, personally I would rather live under a Chinese communist rule than fuckinjg muslim shariah anyday.
Also china is stupid.Or did they made a political deal?In germany and austria the Turkey Mosques get their friday messages from TURKEY!The mosques are leading by the turkish state!And if they became one day the order to…you know!
Thanks to the protocol, nearly 50,000 imams from China will have the chance to receive professional training in Turkey, besides, the Koran and numerous Islamic books will be translated to Chinese, fairs will be organized in both countries, Chinese Muslims will be assisted during their Hajj and Umrah journeys, and mosques in China will be renovated.

Yes. Great. Terrorists r terrorists always. Show no mercy on terrorists.
Nice to see the Chinese acting sensibly. A shame European countries can’t do the same. Hence, I’ve had enough of the UK and, soon, I will be leaving Europe for South America. I didn’t want to relocate, but, as nothing is going to improve, here in the UK, I’m forced to exit.
Way to go China, the west should learn from this.
good for China
Great for China, hope the west wakes up and takes out their garbage.
Thank you! I just say this. We’re sure trying but it’s hard with the Brainwashed Left, The Soros-Technocrat Commy Machine, the incredibly soft Gen Y’s here, and finally Oslama who has set up headquarters in DC with 30K agitators to do all they can to thwart anti-communist sentiment. It is a shame but we’re fighting: https://www.amazon.com/Defeating-Jihad-Winnable-Sebastian-Gorka/dp/1621574571/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487406866&sr=8-1&keywords=jihad
Never thought I’d see the day when I would approve more of Russian and Chinese Policies than I do America’s! Meanwhile, check out the story on the Blaze today about the Marine Vet who was barred from classes from Mississippi College after being labeled a threat. He’d requested a different counselor than the muslim baghead he was assigned. And *he’s* the threat! Sounds like another case of putting the arselifters ahead of our service members who fight for our freedoms! We need to clean house!
Way to go China in dealing with these vermin. A bullet behind the ear works well too!
Hope the Muzfucks get invoiced for every bullet too.
All other countries should learn from China… They sure know how to deal with the fake religion of peace
China will be the “last man standing” in the war against Islam.
I always wondered why isis isn’t in China? Is it just because “that’s who they are “??
If ISIS comes to China they would be slaughtered and ‘exported’ as ‘halal meat’ to the same countries where they came from.
China knows what every country should. You either have to fight islam or give in to islam a little bit at a time to stop their whining and demonstrating.
China realizes that a Nation, any Nation need not and must not change its basic morals, laws and society to conform with any foreign culture, especially islam.
No Nation on earth has asked for hordes of muslims to move in, suck up welfare, demand the free and exclusive use of public facilities, demonstrate and scream for their own laws, block traffic and commerce with their practice of their supposed religion, or establish ghettos of islamics where native citizens of that country are not welcome.
Way to go, China. You see and recognize the pernicious cancer that is islam.
Shame western governments dont show the same efficiency when dealing with their muslim infestations as China does
Love the designer tear gas in top foto …. wild cherry and peppermint !
“WAY TO GO! CHINA”.
Would have liked to see “WAY TO GO! AMERICA” , too Bad Europe and America doesn’t have the same “Chutzpah” to do the same with a crackdown on terrorism and Islamic extremism.
However, in America at least, with our apparent Pro Islam, Pro Muslim “Imperial” Potus – don’t think that will ever happen – at least while the Obama Administration “Rules”.
Way to go China!!!
Way to go China , hopefully Australia will follow soon !
Fingers crossed!
The Uighur lizards probably have diseased transplant organs from eating toxic waste aka halal meat. Chinese can sell some to gullible EU scum tho I am sure.
Very nice
