East Turkistan Islamic Movement

China on Friday commended Britain's decision to list a group advocating independence for the far-western region of Xinjiang as a terrorist organization, a step that bolsters Beijing's claim that it faces an organized violent separatist movement.

China has rejected a US report on terrorism, saying that it carried "false accounts" of its crackdown on East Turkistan Islamic Movement in the volatile Xinjiang province.

Chinese police have killed 28 members of a "terrorist group" in the mainly Muslim Xinjiang region, authorities announced today, in the bloodiest such operation in months and as Beijing denounces Western "double standards" in the wake of the Paris attacks.

China today blamed the separatist activities in the Muslim-dominated Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on foreign forces, saying they will never succeed in stirring ethnic insurgency in the restive province.

China has published a list of six Islamist terrorists who trained in Pakistani camps and announced it was freezing their funds and assets. The six are all core members of the terrorist group "East Turkistan Islamic Movement", according to a statement issued Thursday by the Ministry of Public Security.
