In a comment published by the International Herald Tribune, London-based China analyst Jonathan Mirsky said US President George Bush has made clear to China that its support in the struggle against terrorism was not going to provide it with a blank check to breach human rights. China had already called for support against "terrorists" and "separatism".
"This was certainly a reference to Muslim in northwest Xinjiang and perhaps to Tibet," Mirsky wrote.
"China's instability is caused by its governance. Internally, Beijing has for years conducted terror against many of its citizens.
"Any religious grouping which declines to operate under the Communist Party's various 'Patriotic' organs, whether Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist or Muslim is criminalized, as is the Falun Gong.
"In Xinjiang in particular, the vast majority of the 8 million Uighurs are moderate Muslims and long for real autonomy. A tiny number are terrorists, reportedly trained in Afghanistan and Chechnya. Beijing uses these militants to make religious observance nearly impossible in Xinjiang.
"Abroad China has for years supplied military technology and weapons, sometimes nuclear, to Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Pakistan. Washington has repeatedly warned Beijing to cease this deadly support of international terrorism, and the Chinese have either denied the charges or falsely promised to stop.
"Mr. Bush has done well to remind China that it is not operating unseen behind a strategic and moral great wall," Mirsky concluded.
