United Kingdom the Economist magazine recently published an editorial proposed alarmist, "Xinjiang has the potential to become Chechnya." Editorial said that Chinese policies in Xinjiang issue, if not handled properly, are likely to fall into the quagmire of ethnic fighting in Xinjiang.

In my opinion, the Economist also gives some "evidence" to prove his point, but without a doubt, due to the problems in Xinjiang and no clear understanding, and inevitably some Western-biased, thus drawing biased conclusions.

Xinjiang terror into a complex and acute phase, fears the storm activity on society and pose a serious threat to public safety. High pressure crackdown on policies adopted by the Government of Xinjiang, is used to dealing with violent terrorist activities, rather than society as a whole. Current terror "zero tolerance" policy is moderate and reasonable, the most important thing is to get the general public's understanding support, this is evident from the moyu County of 30,000 people in hetian, Xinjiang recently volunteered to join the storm fears stalking, Wushi County, Aksu Prefecture, as well as tens of thousands of people involved in arresting bursts out of fear of action clear. To crack down on fears the storm is the voice of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, owned by Xinjiang in the fight against terrorism is by no means a strong mass base in Chechnya can be compared.

On anti-terrorism in terms of the way, the war in Chechnya, and damage to society and the impact is very large, almost the entire community was involved in the war, social fragmentation and ethnic division is obvious. In Xinjiang, mainly police against terrorism critical molecular events more frequently targeted local area of combat. Limited impact for the community as a whole, the Xinjiang people's normal life did not change much compared to the usual, and everything was normal.

In addition, the social structure of Xinjiang and Chechnya are completely different. Although Xinjiang and Chechnya also have a large number of Muslims, but other than that, there is a big difference in every way, whether it's political structure, the historical and cultural traditions,

Or social governance mode is not the same. Therefore, at present, the Government policy in Xinjiang is more moves in parallel, violent terrorist activities to crack down on the one hand, on the other hand has initiated public policies to promote social development and social harmony. 14 years free education in South Xinjiang, for example education, vigorously promote bilingual education, investing 2 billion established Kashi University to train more talents. In terms of local employment, take harder to promote measures to create jobs. On the administration of religious affairs, more in line with reality and the masses, the way you want, through propaganda, education, culture in the society, promoting social concepts to extremes in some areas and so on.

On the geo-political, also in Xinjiang and Chechnya very different. After the start of the Chechen war, soon from Russia's domestic affairs into an international geopolitical issues, there are a variety of different political forces and forces involved in the conflict in Chechnya, which makes the situation in Chechnya is very complex. In contrast, the counter-terrorist operation in Xinjiang was China's internal matter, and is just one of the issues of concern to the Government of Xinjiang is not the whole problem. However, it also gave us a heads up, requires a high degree of attention in the future to prevent foreign forces meddling in the Affairs of Xinjiang. ▲ (The writer is associate research fellow, Institute of sociology, social sciences, Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region)
