Frankly people should stop hyping up the Uighur terrorist threat. Yeah they’re killers but what makes them supermen from anyone else? It’s the psychology that they are is what makes any terrorist powerful when they’re most likely just a bunch of uneducated idiots. That’s what the US is trying to do against China. Does anyone really think the US is going to actually employ terrorists against China and advertise it? Like using terrorists is somehow fair and the US cannot be blamed for their actions? That’s the risk which also includes making it okay for any other country to employ terrorists against the US if they want to take that road.
Americans look at it through their own lens where terrorists get due process and are protected which is frustrating for them and they want China to experience that. All because they have to show the world that they care about human rights. If they don’t, the world doesn’t follow them. But they forget China will just shoot them down on the street like a rabid dog because they don’t care about human rights over there. That’s what makes terrorism so scary for Americans while in China it’s not the same. Also because Americans think their lives are so much more valuable than anyone else’s that there’s a paranoia that engulfs and paralyzes them because they don’t want to lose their precious life. Then they get angry because no one is doing anything to protect them blaming other people… blaming the politicians slowly eating away at their society. All that goes on with an American and that’s what they want to inflict on the Chinese because if they have to suffer it, they want the Chinese to suffer it as well.
That’s what the US is trying to do too wanting to make Chinese think they’re going to unleash the Japanese Empire on the Chinese so China better do what Americans say… Japanese weren’t special. They can be killed like any Chinese and today especially so. China has that capability and they know it. That’s what’s holding the Japanese back and Americans as well from unleashing their powerful military upon the world that they like to threaten because they’re actually as mortal as everyone else. They’re the ones afraid of losing their more important in their own eyes life that holds them back. That’s why terrorism doesn’t work as well on the Chinese like it does on Americans. Do you see terrorists around the world itching to target China like they do with the US? No, so don’t think like a conceited American.
Yeah this is something I never really understood. They're being hyped as if they are Chechens. Chechens as we know are people who really love fighting for some reasons. In combat sports or in war. With guys like Satiev, Beterbiev and Chimaev, they punch way above their weight for a 1 million population. In fact they join both sides just so they make it interesting as they fight each other.
Uyghurs on the other hand are farmers(not nomads like people think) and they do not have the same reputations. In sports, I have observed they are more into sports that involve longer distance stamina rather than explosive combat oriented stuff. If you look how aggressive people in their central Asian neighbors act like Uzbeks or Kazakhs, you will realize how sedentary they are. Sorry to any Uyghur lurkers on this forum if that offends you.
There's a reason the terrorists are in Syria instead of Xinjiang or even Central Asia. Coz over there as tradition states, you start shit, you better be prepared to pay with your life. No excuses or whatever. Can't go around killing civilians so easily compared to war torn Syria.
