  • Draft 20160531.Docx
    Security Alert: A Study of Xinjiang-Central Asia and Its Implications for China’s Counterterrorist Policy* Sophia Chia-Chu Chang** Abstract While the activity of international terrorism has increased in recent years, for China, its concern lies with the potential cross fertilization between terrorism and extremism and separatism, or the triple threat. Specifically, Beijing is extremely concerned with the independence movement in Xinjiang and its possible connection with Central Asia. Records suggest that international terrorist groups have moved into Central Asia and established regional bases that sit on opportunities to carry out random attacks. Now, Beijing has been following out several major economic development projects in this region with anxiety. This paper is a discussion of the emerging security challenges in Xinjiang and Central Asia and its implications for China’s counterterrorist policy. Key words: Central Asia, International Terrorism, Xinjiang, Regional Cooperation * This draft is prepared for presentation at the International Studies Association Asia-Pacific (ISA AP) Conference, Hong Kong, June 25-27, 2016. ** PhD Candidate, Graduate Institute of International Politics, National Chung Hsing University Introduction Since 9/11, the world has been engulfed in a wave of random terrorist attacks. According to a report released by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in May 2000, traditional forms of terrorism are disappearing and being replaced by new forms that are sophisticated and difficult to discriminate.1 A survey of recent activities suggests that terrorist attacks have become more violent and frequent. For example, recent cases in Thailand (Phra Phrom) and France demonstrate the diversity of terrorist techniques. The development of Al Qaeda into a global terrorist network and emergence of the Islamic State are among the factors contributing to the surge in international terrorism.
