Summary
The Uyghur militant group Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP), which played a role in toppling Syria’s Assad regime, has vowed to take its fight to China.
In a propaganda video, TIP fighters declared their mission to “liberate East Turkistan” from Chinese control, referencing cities in Xinjiang.
TIP has been active in Syria for over a decade, aligned with Islamist group HTS.
While their capabilities remain unclear, TIP’s rhetoric signals potential threats to China’s global assets. Beijing may push for their extradition, raising challenges for Syria’s new government and regional stability.
It’s not just Taiwan, the US would stink the island before China could seize intact chip labs.
Again, they wouldn’t need to. Taiwan has openly stated that wrecking their own advanced industry such that it can’t be co-opted is a specific point of their strategic defense plans via a vis the PRC.
