Over the past few months Chinese soldiers have successfully repelled the Muslim brotherhood known as Isis, killing hundreds in Xinjiang and Tibet and burning 28 alive with flamethrowers in one of their latest attacks according to Alex Wellman of the Mirror, leaving the failed amateurs to melt on the mountainside in western Xinjiang.
Cowering inside a cave in Aksu, the Islamic
State terrorists were no match against the Chinese special forces as
they hunted them down “like eagles discovering their prey”. Using
flamethrowers to draw them out, the terrorists came running from the
cave screaming and wailing, only to be “completely annihilated” by
supporting gunfire.
Another great victory in the war on terror
was announced just days ago by the Chinese government after 17
suspects, including seven young Muslim women and children, were swiftly
eradicated by police officers in Xinjiang once again (a primary target
for the religious fanatics). This came following an attack in Aksu in
September which left 16 people dead, whereas one of the 17 fanatics
involved surrendered by pleading for his life.
Despite some very minor attacks like the
October 2013 Tiananmen square car attack in Beijing, Isis have had very
little success in advancing beyond the Xinjiang and Tibetan mountains
of western China, and their chances of reaching the more rural areas in
the east are extremely slim. However, concerns are now growing over
the capturing of untapped mineral deposits equating to an estimated $30
trillion in Afghanistan by the terrorist group, this potential revenue
being the main reason for China’s large investment in maintaining
stability in Afghanistan. The unexplored oil and natural gas reserves
in the eastern region are of particular concern, along with the vast 28
kilometre-squared Aynak copper field (the largest in the world)
estimated to contain up to $88 billion worth of ore. Consequently,
China has established valuable trade links in Afghanistan and is now
increasing its military presence as US and NATO troops withdraw.
All roads lead to Rome it would seem, with
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent policy to develop the old Silk
Road of the Han dynasty into a modern trade route spanning across
China, the Middle East and up into Europe, showing a somewhat humorous
indifference towards the Islamic State terror group in the region.
Being a world superpower and boasting the largest army in the world of
200 million, it is hardly surprising that President Jinping has taken
this casual approach.
With a constant onslaught from European and
Russian superpowers seriously weakening the terrorist group, China’s
recent involvement including bombing in Syria and Iraq and its
exploitation of natural resources in Afghanistan, the situation looks
dire for the Isis extremists.
