China police station attack leaves 11 dead

While harsh, this method is a surprisingly effective way of instilling compliance in the target population. It worked in the Boer War, for example.

What leads to even greater stability is constantly tracking those the insurgents hold dear, and making such a fact apparent to the insurgents.

One proposal out of the Ministry of Public Security involves implanting RFID chips into the wives and children of suspected insurgents, and then placing drones armed with guided missiles over their villages, so that at any instant, without warning, the proper deterrent measures against terrorist activity can be executed.

No surprice Your New Bed mate Rajabhaksa is using the same tactics (but Technically different) against the Tamil Population in Eelam..

May be He will be able to teach the chinese on effectively using the white Vans as a Deterrents!!

But the fear of reprisals towards their families can put a leash to many a violent hearts. This was employed once upon a time very effectively against the mumbai underworld... It is sad when the families of gangsters had to undergo crap for apparently no fault of theirs, but the fear of this happening to their families kept many a would-be underworld hombres at bay....

lianzhu means "reprisals" then?

Have reprisals ever defeated an insurgency?

Insurgents need to capture police weapons so they are better armed. Or they could be supplied with arms from external sources.

If such a reprisal policy is followed, it will inflame the Muslim world and

all the XI's horsemen and all the Xi's men, will not be able to put China together again!

The industrial nations would not really care if one single nation is addressed by the Muslims fundamentalists since oil is important to them.

Same way they will not interfere with China, except protest in words, since they depend on Chinese goods!

That is the way the world functions unfortunately.

In fact, while they will not interfere, they will be happy secretly that China is having problems and so cannot become even a greater economic power since the money will be getting diverted to take on the terrorists.

Living in stone age conditions is actually a much admired and desired end point for Islamic fundamentalists. That is why they become a threat to people who wish to stay past the stone age. Afghanistan became such a charming place after the Taliban took over and tallest, deepest, sweetest and beggarest ally of China, namely the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is also heading that way. Stone age? No sweat. Modern technology is NOT required for life under fundamentalist Islam. If its not in the Quran its not needed.Technology is only required to make war - and fortunately both China and the USA are supplying them with weapons

What's effective is to lianzhu their Mullahs or Imams who'd knocked into their minds 72 virgins alike. Or send such terrorists to Guantanamo our anti-terrorism Mecca for for "re-education" or "self criticism".
