Pentagon horrifed as Chinese special forces enter war in SyriaAllegedly, Russian government have announced that China is ready to send 5,000 of its special forces into the Syria and Iraq to help Russia in their fight against so-called Islamic State. These claims have left the Obama administration and the Pentagon stunned.
Two most elite special forces unit of the Chinese military, Siberian Tigers and Night Tigers, were given authorization to be deployed by China’s People’s Congress (NPC) on Sunday. That happened shortly after Chinese government adopted its first anti-terrorism law allowing their military forces to take part in anti-terror missions abroad in order to protect country’s vital interests.
The Chinese fear, which is most critical to China in entering this war, is the huge support to the Islamic State from the members of Chinese Uighurs, a minority which comes from Xinjiang province in country’s far west. Alongside that, Xinjiang province borders eight nations – Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India – and, in China’s view, Xinjiang serves as a funnel for terrorism around the world and within China.
Chinese Special Forces to be deployed to Syria to fight ISIS
The jihadist movement among Uighur people increased their contribution to the Syrian war. So far, many young Uighurs traveled to Syria to join ISIS. Many of them are known to be members of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement—an often violent separatist organization that seeks to establish an Islamist Uighur state in Xinjiang. Among that, the Chinese interests in Syria are more relevant. They are an official ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and so far, they committed more than $30 billion to postwar reconstruction in Syria.
The Chinese strategy goes far ahead the Syrian conflict, their indoctrination and history telling us that they certainly have some plans, and that plans for sure include aspiration to take a lead in world’s global powers. To achieve that, they need to show some determination and capabilities in the military way and Syria should be great example.
