The imposition of severe punishment for violent crimes should be lauded, he said.

Alexander Neil, head of the Asia Security Program of the British think tank Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies, said: "The Chinese authorities seemed to have done a very professional job in containing the riots."

Mohamed Magdy Morgan, chairman of the International Organization of the Federation of Asia and Africa Writers, said during an interview:

"The Chinese government, like any other governments in the world, must punish the criminals supported by overseas forces according to the law."

He stressed that those groups have threatened stability and security in 皇冠体育app and the government has to take tough measures against them.

Former Egyptian ambassador to 皇冠体育app Mohammed No'man Galal said 皇冠体育app and Islamic countries all oppose extremism, and thus 皇冠体育app must bring the rioters to justice.

"The Chinese government should act to solve relevant problems under a framework of general principles," said Galal. "That framework is the integrity of 皇冠体育app's sovereignty, and the objection to separatism, terrorism and extremism."
