Riots in China’s streets, sudden outbursts of violence attributed to terrorists, and an apparent growing anger at the ruling regime, has led the Chinese Communist Party to further beef up its security forces with SWAT teams and armored vehicles, tighten patrols, and issue sharp propaganda against malefactors. But the regime’s high-handed approach does not seem likely to calm tensions.
Since a deadly car bomb attack in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square last October, attributed to Islamic terrorists, the atmosphere in China has remained tense. The Party has also created a new security body to direct the struggle against the forces of instability around the country.
“Terrorists will be nervous, separatists will be nervous, and extremists will be nervous. In general, all those forces who tend to threaten or sabotage China’s national security will feel nervous,” announced the Chinese regime’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang, in a press briefing in January, as he spoke about the formation of a new National Security Commission to be headed by Chairman Xi Jinping, according to state media.
Explaining the new all encompassing security organ, Li Wei, director of the anti-terrorism study center at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, which is affiliated with the regime’s Ministry of State Security, told Beijing Times, “Setting up the National Security Commission is to prevent crises before they emerge.”
But violent forces in China have succeeded in pulling off bloody attacks month after month, which neither China’s thick on-the-ground police forces, nor its Big Brother surveillance systems have been able to prevent or even squelch quickly.
