“Zhang
Chunxian, the top official of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region
said yesterday some Xinjiang people have crossed the border illegally
to join Islamic State (IS). [...] He added that IS is a threat to the
world and requires joint international efforts to fight it.”
“External
extremist forces use the Internet to spread their ideas, fan hatred
and propagate terror, [...] Messages are downloaded by a very small
group of local people who pass them on to others.”
“...
many people in southern Xinjiang, especially rural areas, still could
not speak Mandarin and that made it difficult to find jobs and easier
to be influenced by extremist thinking. Zakir said bilingual
education was important. Che Jun, Xinjiang's deputy Party chief, said
about 95 percent of potential attacks in Xinjiang had been prevented
thanks to public tip-offs.”
