They got the Uighers and Tibet under their heel. They must feel condident their methods will work abroad.
Just because Muslims react with anger doesn’t mean they are a danger. Ants get angry but unless they are fire ants they are more annoying than they were before they were angry. Muslims are a large religion but they are multiple ethnicities, Arab, Pashtun, Kurd, Persian and multiple sects, Shiite, Sunni, Salafi, Wahabi. They fight with each other when they don’t have anyone else to fight with. When they do fight they are like the French. Iraq under Saddam had a very well-equipped and trained military but as soon as someone resisted they dropped their weapons and scattered. Same with Afghanistan when we left them to their own devices they dropped their weapons and scattered. Tiny Israel beat multiple Muslim nations simultaneously at least twice. China knows exactly what the score is.
“The Gwadar uprising”
Actually they’re pretty straight in that part of the world.
I must admit I haven’t kept up on my Gwadar news.
China is begging for “some people did something” and it will be interesting (a) to watch live and (b) see the PLA’s reaction to it. The knock-on effects of such a day could unravel the CCP CiC grasp on power.
