“…12 Pokalova has analyzed how China has relied on the war on terror to deal with a separatist conflict in Xinjiang. 13 While the government use of framing has been widely explored, much less attention has been paid to the use of framing by terrorist groups. However, behavior of terrorist organizations as rational actors in pursuit of cogent self-interest demonstrates that they also use framing.…”

“…Their influence on the country's counterterrorism strategy is well noted in a number of studies. For instance, Pokalova (2013) notes that political regime types heavily shape counterterrorism procedures and policies, which include accountability to the electorate and the use of repression to narrow political opportunities for terrorist consolidation. Similarly, Wayne (2009, pp.…”

“…To locate and detain those suspected of being connected to extremist groups or implicated in terrorist actions, law enforcement authorities were deployed (Pokalova, 2013. ) China's anti-terrorism strategy developed from a nuanced understanding of terrorism that first saw it as a result of separatist movements in places like Xinjiang and Tibet.…”

Terrorism has become a critical worldwide security concern in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy, provoking varying reactions from various states. This research focuses on the distinguishing features of China's counterterrorism policy. The study methodically unravels China's multifaceted perspective on terrorism through interpretative research supported by qualitative analysis. The glocalization lens sheds light on the dynamic interaction of China's local context within the larger global discourse. Within this context, terrorism within China's borders is recast as separatist, a notion intrinsically tied to China's entire understanding of the threat. China effectively turns global terrorist worries into a rationale for its region-focused counterterrorism efforts, which are localized in Xinjiang and Tibet. Furthermore, China's technique departs from Western paradigms by adding socioeconomic factors as crucial components, resulting in a complex and distinctively Chinese approach. In addition, China deliberately utilizes its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects to spread its counterterrorism narrative worldwide while simultaneously legitimizing its internal measures. The paper thoroughly explains China's counterterrorism policy through this analysis to highlight the roots of its unique interpretation, localized remedies, socioeconomic integration, and global outreach strategies.
