In: Journal of Contemporary China : Vol 23 No 87, May 2014, pp.535-555 (102)Summary: China's preferred approach to counterinsurgency appears to rely heavily on hard power and imposition. This article considers from the Chinese government's perspective the application of these policies against ethnic unrest in Tibet and Xinjiang even if these events would not ordinarily be considered insurgencies. Looks at the role of China's political structures and nationality dynamics. Also considers external factors including trade routes (the Karakoram highway), relations with e.g. Pakistan, and briefly considers counterinsurgency strategies of some Asian states. Concludes that "... China's political structure is inherently biased towards hard power and imposition."
