US double standard on terrorism

At the end of April, a severe terrorist attack took place in Kashgar, the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, which was condemned by people in China but was seen with circumspection by some US officials. By adopting such double standard, the US will not only harm China's fight against terrorism, but also end up shooting itself in the foot, says an article in Beijing Times. Excerpts:

A US government spokesman not only refused to recognize the Kashgar attack as the handiwork of terrorists, but also "carefully worded" the statement to allude to China's policies on ethic groups, justice, human rights and religion, revealing its double standard when it comes to terrorist attacks on other countries.
