Chinas Soft War on Terror

This book explores how the Chinese government reasserts its control and management of public spaces as part of its overall counterterrorism strategy.

The work focuses primarily on the banal and alternative forms that Chinas war on terror takes: the everyday, nonmilitary, socioeconomic and spatio-material. It presents three different cases of control associated with the states effort to manage material, social and digital public spaces as remedies to terrorism and ethnic unrest in China: the redevelopment project of Kashgarthe home of Uyghur culturefrom 2001 to 2017; the forging of local partnerships with potential agents (i.e. the local cadres and imams in Xinjiang) as part of the process of implementing counterterrorism policies; and an online campaign about international terrorism that appeared on Sina Weibo. Using securitization theory as a theoretical framework, the book establishes links between human geography and critical security studies and advances the understanding of nonconfrontational forms of resistance in China. It also focuses attention on the binary relationship between the securitizing agency of the state and the counter-securitization agency of terrorists, while also exploring the manner in which other societal forces interact with these processes.

This book will be of interest to students of critical terrorism studies, Chinese studies, human geography and security studies.

Tianyang Liu is an associate professor in the School of Politics and Public Administration at Wuhan University, China.

This book series will publish rigorous and innovative studies on all aspects of terrorism, counterterrorism and state terror. It seeks to advance a new generation of thinking on traditional subjects and investigate topics frequently overlooked in orthodox accounts of terrorism. Books in this series will typically adopt approaches informed by critical-normative theory, post-positivist methodologies and non-Western perspectives, as well as rigorous and reflective orthodox terrorism studies.

Introduction A study on non-terrorists

DOI: 10.4324/9781003167136-1

Security is omnipresent in everyday life, ranging from apparent trivialities of safety to more significant and global issues of transnational crime, natural disasters, nuclear proliferation and terrorism. The actors whose lives we explore in this book, such as the Old Town residents, the street officers, Internet users, the imams, the planners and so on, are not terrorists. We will come to understand their emotions, their memories, their moments of joy and sadness, hope and fear. We have to swallow their worlds. The worlds of these people, who are notor not yetterrorists, have been delineated and defined by Chinas war on terror. Concomitantly, they have defined Chinas war on terror. This is a study on terrorism through the eyes of non-terrorists.
