That's not true, there have been numerous terrorist attacks in China connected to the Xinjiang conflict. It's well documented[1]. Your comment is a good example about how underreporting of it in Western media has given people a poor understanding of the conflict, which leads to many online discussions about it being full of confident falsehoods.

- mschuster91 4y agoI would not conflate lone cells committing acts of violence with state-backed, campaign organized terrorism like the citizens of Israel have to suffer from - which is why I wrote campaigns of terrorism. I agree, every incidence of terrorism is one too many, but the scale is completely different - if you live in Israel's border regions, you are constantly living under threat of rockets or bombs made out of party balloons [1].
