China is calling for the international community to help fight what it calls a homegrown terrorist problem in mostly Muslim Xinjiang. The Chinese government accuses the region’s Uighur minority population of seeking independence through violence, while the Uighurs blame Beijing for suppressing their culture and religion. China is already carrying-out counterterrorism-style drills with forces from neighboring countries in Xinjiang.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu says China is among terrorism’s many victims. “Terrorism is the public enemy of the international community. China has always opposed any form of terrorism and actively participates in the international fight against terrorism.”
