China s war on terror is among its most prominent and least
understood of campaigns. With links to the global jihad, an
indigenous insurgency threatens the government s grip on a massive
region of north- western China known as Xinjiang. Riots, bombings,
ambushes, and assassinations have rocked the region under
separatist and Islamist banners. China acted early and forcefully,
and although brutal, their efforts represent one of the few
successes in the global struggle against Islamist terrorism.
The effectiveness of this campaign has raised questions
regarding whether China genuinely confronts a terrorist threat. In
this book, based on extensive fieldwork, Martin Wayne investigates
China s counterinsurgency effort, highlighting the success of an
approach centred on reshaping local society and government
institutions. At the same time, he raises the question of what the
United States may be able to learn from China s approach, and
argues that as important a case as Xinjiang needs to be fully
examined in order for terrorism to be defeated.
This book will be of interest to students of China, Asian
politics, terrorism and security studies in general.
