Terrorism will never hinder progress

The latest terrorist attack aimed at innocent people was an open challenge to the government, as the bomb attack at the railway station in Urumqi was carried out on the last day of President Xi Jinping's four-day inspection tour to the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. However, the terrorists' attempts to defy the government and create panic and plant the seeds of hatred among different ethnic groups are doomed to fail.

With the terrorist attack on Kunming railway station still fresh in people' s minds, the terrorists chose to attack another railway station for a number of reasons.

First, there were many passengers in the station as people were traveling for the May Day holiday, making it easier for the terrorists to cause mass casualties and spread panic, and also ensure the attack received a lot of media coverage.
