The battle against terrorism has heated up. ISIS has called on the Muslims in Uighurs to join the fight, and it has declared war on a number of countries, including India and China. China has vowed to battle ISIS, though it does not say in so many words about bombing ISIS. China does not usually meddle in the internal conflict of other countries. However, when someone else or some other country dares to meddle in the internal affair of China, it will use its mighty force to fight back. US must be glad to have such a might ally in the fight against terrorism. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/619513/ISIS-Islamic-State-China-President-Xi-Jinping-Li-Keqiang-Paris-attacks
In what was called the "most significant development in international jihadism since 9/11", the leader of extremist group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has captured a huge sway of territories in both Iraq and Syria,

ISIS may meet their match if they take on the Chinese.

They not only take on China, they take on India too. I think once China starts a war on ISIS, it will not stop until it destroys ISIS completely. After all, China risks losing Uighurs to ISIS if it does not take strong action.

I am quite surprised that ISIS has missed Chinese in Paris attack. There are more than a thousand Chinese tourists in Paris on that day, and yet none get hurt.

@topffer You can check the link to Express.co.uk The report says that no Chinese is identified by French authority. It is unlikely for a Chinese to go to a football match or the rock music concert. If ISIS attacks Prada shop, Louis Vuitton shop, that is a different story.

@scheng1 We have not yet a complete list of victims. I read that some were foreigners, I do not know if there was some Chinese among the victims.

I don't know what to say. I hope our government can do something correctly. I still remember the attack in Kunming a few years ago. Many people were killed by big knives in the train station in that disaster. It is so horrible. Since they hurt innocent people, nobody will feel sympathy to the terroists even if they might have any reasons.

Yes, that is horrible. However, Paris attacks are much worst than Kunming knives attack. Since ISIS has declared war on China, there is no way that China can ignore them. China is such a mighty nation, and it cannot bow down to terrorism. I think once China decides to kill off the terrorists, China will definitely succeed.

If ISIS did not declare war on China, and decided to leave China out, China would not take action. China does not meddle with the affair of other countries.

haha, that is a good way to put it. I think when Chinese attacks them, Chinese will use a lot of pork oil. Chinese loves to eat pork, and even use pig tail, pig skin, and pig oil in the dishes. There is no lack of pork oil!

ISIS is part of domestic problem in China. ISIS is asking the Muslims in Xinjiang to join the training camp, and return to kill Chinese. If that is not domestic, then what is?

@scheng1 The root cause of violent terrorist incidents is poor,Uygur people who join Isis mostly come from underclass with poor education.So our government makes effort in solving poverty problem in Xinjiang.If terrorists come up in anywhere in CHI,The armed police will kill them.So our government pay attention to domestic rather than foreign.

I would find it rather ironic if a terrorist organisation can achieve something that many, many years of diplomacy have never come close to achieving. Uniting the entire world!!

haha, that is really a nice way of putting it. It is like a dysfunctional family whose members quarrel every day, and yet when something happens, the whole family unites. China has much to lose since it has a large group of Muslims. ISIS has already executed 3 Chinese, and China will not forget.

though they are saying for world war but its not easy they have not potential to do that and if happened then all country who involved in it goes back 10 or may be 20 years.ISIS has not that kind of potential to fight long and they are only attack from behind they have not gust otherwise attack from front and then they know who is strong.
