Will the Dragon to join the Bear and the Egale?
http://www.news.com.au/world/middle-east/beijing-responds-to-the-execution-of-fan-jinghui-by-the-islamic-state/news-story/72c46e8e0f2869fec2ed34544c3eaa5d?sv=28a49e644288f8ec819d15fa304eaf16
BEIJING has responded angrily to the execution of one of its citizens by the Islamic State, and has vowed to avenge him.
A statement from the Chinese foreign ministry said the execution of Fan Jinghui, a 50-year-old freelance consultant, by the terror group was a “savage act devoid of humanity” and vowed to “bring the criminals to justice.”
“The Chinese government will resolutely oppose all forms of terrorism, resolutely strike at any violent terrorist criminal activities that defy the bottom lines of human culture.”
Mr Fan was killed alongside Ole-Johan Grimsgaard-Ofstad, of Norway. It’s not clear how they were killed but pictures published in Islamic State’s English magazine showed the men with bloodied heads, suggesting they had been shot.
Under the graphic images of the two murdered men was the caption: “Executed after being abandoned by the Kafir [infidel] nations and organisations.”
There had reportedly been attempts to rescue the pair before they were “cruelly murdered”, but both China and Norway refused to pay ransoms.
China is not part of the group of countries battling IS in the Middle East. It’s response to the killing would be to “enhance its counter-terrorism co-operation with the international community” — but the foreign ministry statement stopped short of committing to direct military action.
The BBC reported the “cold-blooded and violent” execution could be a “game changer” for China, largely because it has stayed away from the fight against IS and has declined to support the US and French bombing campaigns.
It’s next move then will be closely watched — not only by Islamic State leaders but also by governments around the world.
A professor at professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, Xie Tao, told media if China joined the coalition of countries fighting IS, it would be a big change in their foreign policy, ignoring a decades-old policy of non-intervention and risking giving other countries an option of asking China to take sides in future conflicts.
