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
counter insurgency 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.
