    Terrorist attack on China
    Just wondering what you intelligent people think would happen should an Islamic terrorist group made an attack on China during their time to shine?

    I'm just interested to know what you guys & gals who have knowledge (or at least appear to :D ) in world affairs think the Chinese reaction would be? They'd be really pi$$ed one would think!!

    I can see a scenario when perpatraitors might scapegoat another country or group, just to cause more confusion and get them motivated. I agree with your analyses that the Chinese army would be a fierce fighting machine based on numbers. If you exclude atomic, nuclear, or supernatural force (acts of G-d), the Chinese population alone in a conventional war could propagate fast enough to have their next generation ready for battle before the initial ones retired, or were completely lost due to confrontations.

    They are indeed a scary prospect when it comes to sheer numbers of people. I wouldn't want them pi$$ed off at me!

    Rights bodies say the Chinese government is cracking down on them, under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

    Up until that point, the article described all the heinous activities of this group and end it with that statement.

    The question is what is the Chinese government or any government going to do when faced with these kinds of threats to its citizens?



    Do they grant them an independent state? Because it is the violence of terrorism that works?
