China Distributes Official Anti-terrorism Guidebook

China Distributes Official Anti-terrorism Guidebook
Jul 24, 2014 By eChinacities.com

Government authorities have been distributing an anti-terrorism guidebook to inform citizens of what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. The 45 page guide comes complete with illustrative cartoons of pot bellied terrorists in skull and crossbones jumpers, waving swords whilst clutching dynamite under their arms.

The guide first, rather sensibly, urges citizens to “quickly run away” at the first sign of trouble; however it also has a section titled “Do your best to fight back”, which advises citizens to band together and fight the terrorists with everyday items such as handbags and umbrellas.

The guidebook is actually a rebranded version of the public safety handbooks that have been handed regularly out in recent years, but updated with advice on how to cope with knife attacks, being run over and arson attacks; all of which have happened in the past nine months in China.

Are you stupid? hundreds of terrorist attacks are made everymonth by people from different religions. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts that are intended to create fear (terror); are perpetrated for a religious, political, or ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (e.g., neutral military personnel or civilians). Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for protection rackets or to enforce a code of silence is usually not labeled terrorism, though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group. Usage of the term has also been criticized for its frequent undue equating with Islamism or jihadism, while ignoring non-Islamic organizations or individuals, like the acts of the terrorist state: Israel.
