Abstract:From 2020,international terrorism has remained grim and complex. While the international community maintains momentum in the fight against the COVID-19,the hard-hit “Islamic State” takes the opportunity to spread its propaganda and launch frequent terrorist attacks,attempting to weaken the power of its “enemy” and improve its own influence. Another terrorist group,Al-Qaeda has put down roots in far-flung areas and conflict zones of some countries. Some regions and countries in South Asia,Southeast Asia and Africa,with complicated geopolitics,sharp religious contradictions,constant civil wars,and frequent terrorist attacks,have witnessed even more rampant terrorist activities since the epidemic has damaged the economy,making more and more people lose their jobs. As countries around the globe are struggling to combat the outbreak as a priority,they attach less importance to anti-terrorism. Western countries,especially the United States,have decreased their willingness to counter terrorism,sending less and less anti-terrorism troops to the South Asia,Africa and other regions;developing countries,especially Iraq,Yemen Republic,and the Sahel countries,are confronting both internal and external threats. Albeit eagerly,they don’t have sufficient power. To prevent terrorists from creating chaos during the prevention and control of the COVID-19,the United Nations calls on the international community to keep an eye on the movements of terrorism. China,jointly with the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in terms of anti-terrorism,has contributed to the regional stability as much as we can.
