Pretty much the double standards of the west. If a terrorist attack occurs in the North America or Europe it should be condemned and sympathy comes pouring in. If it happens in the non western world it receives little to no sympathy unless in some cases.
In China's situation it is our fault and we deserve this as the narration goes, I have seen disgusting articles "A cry of desperation of terrorism" and plenty more with their own spin. If the Chinese media twisted the Boston Bombings or 9/11 as America to blame they would have been shunned and condemned. Personally this is why I and many of the people I have spoken to in China could care less about the attack in Paris, the chickens are coming home to roast as repercussions in our view. China's war on Uighur terrorism will go on for another 10-15 years but ultimately due to the demographs, security, and development of Xinjiang it will end. Europe case no so much, Just sit back and watch the show.

Thoughts on this?
Western (mainly US) media is inherently fascist and reactionary.
Western governments do not hold any moral values, but preach them fanatically when they know they can use them as a tool.
Hence you have a history of US governments and military/secret services propping up and cooperating with dictators, junta and bloody regimes across the world.
That's for the same reason that the US regime has been so aligned with the likes of Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia on the issue of Syria.
Hence, it is all about geopolitics and hard power. Those who hold the ultimate hard power also hold the power of discourse, as has been pointed out by
@Dungeness .
In this respect, China should pay ZERO attention and ZERO heed to the Western fascist media and governments on the issues pertaining to both domestic and international security and interests of China.
China shall continue to exterminate religio and ethno fascists wherever they hide. China will also spread secularism, education, and language to the furthest parts of the nation. China will lay out railways, logistics centers and airports up to the roof of the world.
China's problem is not that it is morally right or wrong. Its problem is that China is still a developing nation. It still needs to gather greater national power. When China has enough power, then discourse will follow.
Until that time, Xinjiang terrorists (dead and soon to be dead) are to be viewed by the Western media as "suspects" that are "allegedly" involved in terror activities.
When China has the ultimate hard power, then we can portray the "alleged perpetrators" of Twin Tower "incident" as "suspects" or a "bunch of angry youth due to misguided US policies." And the rest of the world will love to accept and parrot it.
Thus, ignore the fascist Western media as much as you can, and onto the duty of China's national rejuvenation.
