Well I believe in the Marxian idea that economic situation causes political action, so I think people turn to radical Islam when their lives aren't going well financially and they're frustrated about that. So if I were a member of some theoretical communist organisation controlling China's government, I'd apply a Marxian material analysis and find the economic drivers of radicalisation, and then institute public works projects to address them. Raise minimum wage, improve public transit, universal basic income, build affordable housing, that sort of thing. I wouldn't lock them up and make them do labour, that's America's thing. Modern day China is turning into America 2.
