A Study On The Penetration And Influence Of The "Islamic State" On Southeast Asia

Since the "Islamic State" ravaged the Middle East,the world’s anti-terrorism situation has become extremely grim.Under the joint attack by the international anti-terrorism alliance,the "Islamic State" continued to lose its soldiers and lands,suffered heavy losses,facing the danger of destruction.However,the risk of spilling into other areas is increasing.Because of its special geographical location and unique historical and cultural environment,the Southeast Asia becomes the key areas of"Islamic State" to penetrate and expand.It is of great significance to study the infiltration of the "Islamic State" to Southeast Asia and to assess its possible impact.It is important to recognize the current situation of terrorism in Southeast Asia and to further combat the "Islamic State" and the terrorism forces in Southeast Asia.First,This article defines the basic concepts of "terrorism" and "extremism".On the basis of combing the development process of the "Islamic State" and the development process of Southeast Asian terrorism,this thesis deeply analyzes the reasons of the "Islamic State" penetrates Southeast Asia.This thesis systematically studies and combs the ways and channels of infiltration of the "Islamic State" into Southeast Asia from the four aspects of ideological diffusion,organizational connection,personnel recruiting and refluxing,financing channels.It holds that social network is the main tool of the "Islamic State" to spread extreme thoughts to Southeast Asia;the establishment of branches and contact with the local terrorism is the main way of organization;in addition to a large number of Indonesians,Malaysians and extremists from other countries joined the "Islamic State",Xinjiang Uighurs and Myanmar Rohingya people have also become new targets of recruitment;cross-border capital transfer and bank transfer are the main ways of capital transactions.The article believes that under the constant infiltration of the "Islamic State",Southeast Asia has formed an intertwined terrorist network;the development of terrorism in Southeast Asia presents a trend of centralization,proliferation;attack targets turn to become government agencies;attack patterns diversify;lone-wolf attack may become a major attacked pattern;female terrorists and the cell-terrorist groups increase.It makes the global anti-terrorism difficulty increase,and causes the deteriorated security situation in Southeast Asia,social contradictions and Islamic radicalization intensified.For the "Islamic State" penetration,Southeast Asian countries take a series of response measures,which have achieved some success,but anti-terrorism legislation is still insufficient and deradicalization effect is not good and so on.The "Islamic State" infiltration to Southeast Asia also poses a serious challenge on China’s security situation.At present,Xinjiang "East Turkistan" separatist force and Southeast Asian terrorist forces,the "Islamic State" extremist force have been confluent.Under the current severe anti-terrorism situation,China and ASEAN should carry out pragmatic cooperation in deepening political mutual trust,strengthening the mechanism construction,promoting judicial cooperation,strict border control,strengthening capital supervision and carrying out religious education,and jointly combating terrorism and safeguarding regional security stability,in order to provide security guarantee to the cooperation between the two sides and the development of free trade areas,and to make a positive exploration for the construction of China-ASEAN fate community.
