Why China’s belt and road plan is facing threat of jihadist terrorism

Afghanistan and China share a 74km-long border along the mountainous Wakhan Corridor. At Beijing’s insistence, the Taliban relocated TIP militants from Badakhshan province, near the border, to other areas last year. However, some TIP elements are believed to have rebuilt their bases in Badakhshan.

Isis-K’s anti-China rhetoric may also be intended to attract Uygur militants to its fold. The more the Taliban regime curtail TIP activities, the greater the chances of Uygur militants gravitating towards Isis-K. According to a United Nations Security Council report, Isis-K has reached out to disgruntled fighters from other terrorist groups, and as many as 50 Uygur militants have joined it.

Notes for self: *ISIS-K (most likely backed by the US) is recruiting TIP/ETIM/Uygur terrorists to target the Belt and Road Initiative. *It’s interesting that ISIS-K chose a name styled after US-funded propaganda outlet Voice of America. *According to the hawkish think tank, Jamestown Foundation, the Voice of Khorasan Magazine is published by al-Azaim Foundation for Media Production.
