China combats terror, protects rights with new law
A senior Chinese counter-terrorism official says terrorism is permeating in the country under the influence of international terrorist activities.
Liu Yuejin, counter-terrorism commissioner of the Ministry of Public Security, describes the current situation in China as "stable and under control."
But the official notes there's a growing tendency for activities that are masterminded overseas, organized online, and implemented within the country.
Liu stressed that there are still people in China secretly planning violence and sabotage activities, and violence and terror incidents still occur occasionally in some parts of Xinjiang.
He said police have been making efforts to build an anti-terror intel system.
