China could face greater terrorism threat as US ‘delists’ East Turkestan Islamic Movement, experts say

HONG KONG, Nov 8 (SCMP): China could face a greater terrorism threat as a result of the US removing the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), which Beijing has repeatedly blamed for violent acts in Xinjiang and elsewhere, from its list of terror groups, observers say.

However, China is unlikely to change its counterterrorism strategy on the back of the decision, they say.
