Quite surprised that the Al Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS, et al Global-Islamic-Caliphate forces haven't tried anything at this aggression against Muslims in China.

Maybe because they prefer to focus on countries that project their forces abroad to build empires (starting with oil resources)?

  You obviously don't know much about what China is up to if you don't think that description applies to China.

  China is trying to become the world hegemony. If that’s not empire building, I don’t know what is.

They have, China has big problems with Islamic terrorism in its western provinces.

Which is why maybe you should actually understand Islam, what triggers radicalism, what doesn't, and how "The West" also gets that wrong, and how China navigates an exemption from Jihad. Al Queda was specifically formed to create a predictable response from the West that the West would never get out of. Bin Laden's purpose of Al Queda was to make a war with them so expensive that the US tears itself apart over budget considerations alone. So, funny story...

  It’s almost as if his direct experience fighting the USSR in Afghanistan in the 80s and seeing how costly the war was for them, in both blood and treasure, and how it was a massive drag on the Russian economy, gave him a good idea. But since the US understood this, and directly funded Afghan groups through the Pakistani ISI to prolong the war, we were well positioned to not fall into that same trap. And yet…

    It's in Bin Laden's videos, he sent them all to US news sources. I was really disappointed when I watched them and realized that the news at the time (early 2000s) had completely cut them and never gave Americans the message at all. The Western response is "retaliation", the Jihad response is "excision of aggressor from Muslim lands", Bin Laden exploited that with a completely decentralized, self propogating, adhoc guerrilla military force, and told us exactly what he was doing, and we walked right into it because we have an insatiable lust for blood so you get instant support from the people, and its egged on by salivating defense companies. Such a meticulous manipulation... facepalm. and all the solutions I can think of just leave a power vacuum. Anyway, to anyone passing by, China's financial dealings are collaborative enough, and the Uyghars are not in another country so China's safe. China was dealing with internal attacks from Uyghars on occasion, and now wants to erase the concepts that those "freedom fighters" were fighting for. Its also working.

They don't care about China too much nor about the Uygurs. Their jihadic vision is focused on U.S - Israel alliance which are seen as demonic forces that are respoinsible for everything bad in the muslim world. China isn't seen as someone occupying holy muslim lands or as a great Satan so they are exempt. Iran for instance also has very solid relations with China.

There has been plenty of aggression from islamist groups, its one of the main reason they are treated like they are. Countless of mass killings on public places, but it only gets mentioned in western media when some american tourist is unlucky enough to perish in an attack. Do you honestly think that china just decided one day to treat these groups like animals, or did they do something to merit that? Edit: What is up with the down votes? Is this reddit or is this a place where we can actually exchange opinions and world views... What an echo chamber!
