BEIJING - Authorities in China have arrested almost 13,000 “terrorists” in Xinjiang since 2014, the government said on Monday, in a policy paper defending its controversial de-radicalisation measures for Muslims in the restive far western region.
Beijing says it needs the measures to stem the threat of Islamist militancy, and calls them vocational training centers. Only a small minority of people face strict punishment, such as ringleaders of terror groups, while those influenced by extremist thinking receive education and training to teach them the error of their ways, the paper said.
The white paper said Xinjiang has faced a particular challenge since the Sept. 11, 2001, al Qaeda attacks on the United States, as East Turkestan extremists ramped up activities in China, using China’s term for extremists and separatists it says operates in Xinjiang.
