Most of the foreign fighters that flooded into in Syria during the past few
years came from the West, but some jihadists also arrived from the Far East,
including as many as 300 of Western China’s Uighurs, the Sunni Muslim
indigenous ethnic minority. Now that the Islamic State’s caliphate is
collapsing, it seems inevitable that some will return to China, bringing
with them more of the jihadist ideology and influence that has leaders in
Beijing worried.
The Uighurs come from China’s western province of Xinjiang that borders
Afghanistan and Pakistan. China cannot afford further instability in
Xinjiang. With its abundant natural resources, and rampant arms smuggling,
Beijing has begun shoring up its border patrol there. |
