Uyghur Muslim Ethnic Separatism in
Xinjiang, China
A mosque located in the Xinjiang region. |
A January
2007 Chinese raid on a training camp in Xinjiang killed
18 terrorist suspects and one policeman. Seventeen more
suspects were reported captured and explosives were
seized. The raid was said to have provided new evidence
of ties to “international terrorist forces.” The raid
marks the latest clash between Uyghur Muslim separatists
and Chinese security services, reflecting a limited
challenge to China’s mainland stability. This clash is
the topic of a new paper by APCSS professor
Dr. Elizabeth Van Wie Davis entitled “Uyghur
Muslim Ethnic Separatism in Xinjiang, China.”
