ABSTRACT
The United States must learn to effectively counter terrorism; this is my generation’s challenge. We can wait no longer: 9/11 and 7/7 are powerful lessons of laxity. An international insurgency with local affiliates, local upswellings, is upon us. Scholars and statesmen can no longer turn away from unsavory campaigns in remote regions; we must critically investigate how other countries have worked to counter related terrorism and insurgencies. To-date the China case has been neglected by the security studies community.
