| Subject: State oppression will continue until morale improves: China police fan out across capital to ‘counter street terrorism’ Mon May 12, 2014 5:07 am | |
| China tightened security in its capital on Monday, strengthening police patrols and restricting bulk purchases of gasoline, state media reported, in the wake of a string of violent attacks by militants.
Beijing police sent out 150 armed patrol vehicles into the city on Monday, the official Xinhua news agency reported, “countering street terrorism and fighting severe violence”.
...Exile groups and rights activists say China’s heavy-handed policies in the restive western region of Xinjiang, home to the Muslim Uighur people, have sowed the seeds of unrest.
Xinjiang, resource-rich and strategically located on the borders of central Asia, has been plagued by violence for years, blamed by the government on Islamist militants and separatists.
Police last week shot dead an assailant who attacked a police vehicle with knives in Xinjiang.
