Rare video footage of terrorist attacks in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and other parts of China made public on Monday revealed the grim situation before the spread of terrorism and religious extremism was successfully contained.
During an online news conference on Xinjiang-related issues, the regional government showed video footage and accounts of witnesses and victims’ relatives of 52 typical violent and terrorist cases from the 1990s to 2014. They were only a very small number of the thousands of incidents carried out by extremists, separatists and terrorists at home and abroad.
Some of the bloody and violent footage was released for the first time.
