Historically, most of Turkestan was controlled by the Russian Empire and its successor, the Soviet Union. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the various Turkic republics became independent. Now the largest foreign occupier of Turkestan is the People's Republic of China, which still controls East Turkestan (called Xinjiang by the PRC government).

Terrorism in the form of religious extremism in the People's Republic of China mostly originates in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, which has a high Islamic population, most of which are unsatisfied with the communist government. There are also several militant Tibetan Buddhist groups that the Chinese government considers as terrorist. Several groups that China considers terrorist are the Eastern Turkestan Islamic Movement, the East Turkestan Liberation Organization, the World Uygur Youth Congress, and the Eastern Turkistan Information. However, other than these groups, there are few terroristic activities in China. In addition, when dealing with terrorists, China has been criticized for their use of media and executions.
