Hmmm, well it might well be a little more harmonious than it seams.
We only have the official China state news as a source for this. There are no
independent new sources so far.

China is very, very keen to use the word "terrorist" a lot and make a lot out of
any incidents now that they have the world's attention.


To paraphrase the BBC:
"Look Westerners! We have bad Islamic terrorists just like you. You know
what they say about your enemy's enemy..."

The nerve of them Chinese. Throwing the word "terrorist" around in order to further a national agenda or perhaps a personal political agenda or to create an environment where the government will pay for increased military expenditures!!!!!

Good thing that would never happen in a country like America that's fer sure!
