Hua also addressed reports that East Turkistan terrorist forces were involved in the incident. The militants, she says, are colluding with international terrorist organizations, endangering peace and stability not just in China, but also in neighboring countries. China will step up cooperation with relevant countries to combat terrorist organizations in the region.
