The Chinese Government on June 24 released a television program about online terrorist propaganda created by the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), which is listed by the UN Security Council as a terrorist group.

In 2013, Chinese police tracked down 109 pieces of terror-related audio and video content produced by the movement, compared with 32 in the previous year, according to the State Internet Information Office (SIIO). The recordings were matched by a surge in attacks.

Besides promoting terrorism, ETIM videos also offer tutorials on how to make explosives and how to use weapons.

The documentary indicates that the videos are produced outside China, with many hosted on servers in Turky.

The documentary's release followed the launch of a campaign on June 20 to rid the Internet of audio and video materials that promote terrorism or violence.

The move aims to safeguard social stability and long-term peace in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, according to a statement from the SIIO.

The authorities will prevent terrorist materials produced overseas from being disseminated in China, remove such information online, punish website servers violating the rules and urge Internet companies to uphold their responsibilities, the statement said.

Xinjiang saw its bloodiest attack in five years on May 22 when 39 innocent people were killed in a terrorist attack in the regional capital of Urumqi. On April 30, three people were killed and 79 injured in an attack at a railway station in the city.
