/GettyEditor's note: Keith Lamb is a University of Oxford graduate with an MSc degree in Contemporary Chinese Studies. France is already involved in targeting factions who support the ideology involved in these terrorist attacks and no doubt more resources will be spent in the surveillance of implicated groups. Take for example Chinese troops were placed on the streets of Urumqi after riots linked to Islamic terrorist groups in 2009. The terrorist attacks that have taken place in France, while tragic, are a drop in the ocean compared to the thousands of terrorist attacks that had taken place across Xinjiang. This is no different to France which in September 2016 opened its first de-radicalization center, in Pontourny, for would-be jihadists.
