of this question, the expert explained that the fight against the Chinese terrorists, who
were once less dangerous than they are now, is one of the reasons that explain the
interference of China in Syria. These Chinese terrorist elements have been able to

threat to the unity of Chinese territory, where the number of Chinese militants fighting
alongside terrorist groups in Syria about Five thousand people, so the participation
China's military operations against these militants belong to China's own economic,
political or security interests. The return of these Chinese fighters from Syria to China
with their extremist, terrorist and jihadist ideology means a major security and military
threat to the Chinese economy and society [Salama, Moataz (2014)].
