What is the root cause of Uyghur initiated political violence and how has it evolved over time? Why does the Chinese government promptly highlight some domestic terrorism incidents in the official media, but acknowledge others slowly or not at all? What explains the radical shift toward repression in Xinjiang? What strategic calculations govern China’s counterterrorism foreign policies? What are the implications of this conflict for world politics? China’s War on Terror: Repression and Violence on the New Silk Road (forthcoming) answers these questions. Drawing on extensive original data, Potter and Wang demonstrate that competing Chinese priorities shape the government’s policies at home and abroad.
