China Jails 20 on Jihad, Separatism Charges in Restive Xinjiang
2013-03-28
[AAWSAT.NET] Chinese courts have sentenced 20 people to up to life in jail on charges of separatism and plotting to carry out jihad in the restive far western region of Xinjiang, the government said on Wednesday.
The courts in Kashgar and Bayingol said the 20--all ethnic Uighurs judging by their names--had had their "thoughts poisoned by religious extremism", and used cell phones and DVDs "to spread Mohammedan religious propaganda", the Xinjiang government said on its official news website (www.ts.cn).

Some of them bought weapons to kill coppers as part of their jihad and spread propaganda related to the banned East Turkestan Islamic Movement, the report said, a group which China says wages a violent campaign for a separate state.

#2  As per CHINA + separatism, since the majority of the mainland's population is Han Chinese, IMO unless the CPC in Beijing screws up royally the Chinese global economy + other Policies CHINA WILL HAVE TO ATTACKED BY OUTSIDE FORCES E.G. NUCLEAR RADICAL ISLAM.

Its no longer the US-vs-China in Asia-Pacific, but the US-vs-China-vs-Nuclear-Islam - its only a question of whether the OWG Caliphate-happy, Nuclear Jihadis/Hard Boyz attack China, etc. first before the US or vice versa.

#1  Meanwhile, down India ways ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > INDIA'S FANTASY OF DISLOYAL MUSLIMS MAY [yet = still] COME TRUE, as due to intensifying Hindu abuses, backlash + pervasive irrational fears in both Hindu + Muslim, etc. communities.

* WORLD NEWS > [SCMP] INDONESIAN JIHADI SAYS SABAH IS MALAYSIAN "SOFT SPOT".

Malaysia-Indonesia aka lots of Chinese expats + migrant laborers live.

* TOPIX > PHILIPPINE GUERILLAS ENTER SABAH.

PLAN task force is conducting amphib landing exercise close to Sabah + in waters claimed by both China + Malaysia.

As per MILBLOGS + NET NEWS, rest assured that China has noticed the on-going Sabah Crisis between the PHIL + Malaysia.

CHINA IN PHIL + SE ASIA = AKA "WHERE THE US = US NATO/ALLIES AREN'T" = LOTS OF JUNGLES, RIDGES, HIGH MOUNTAINS [Tribals?] TO GIVE THE USDOD SERIOUS TROUBLE.
