Al-Qaeda Declares War On China, Too -- Zachary Keck, The Diplomat
Al-Qaeda has joined the Islamic State in calling for jihad against China for its Uyghur policies.
Al-Qaeda central appears to have joined the Islamic State in calling for jihad against China over its alleged occupation of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
This week, al-Sahab media organization, al-Qaeda’s propaganda arm, released the first issue of its new English-language magazine Resurgence. The magazine has a strong focus on the Asia-Pacific in general, with feature articles on both India and Bangladesh, as well as others on Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Red Chinese have a
presence in all 54 countries

China is ruled by an oligarchy and its' Mandate from Heaven is red and many Chinese are nationalistic/patriotic. I would say nationalism is not a bad thing. It depends on what person does vis-a-vis others.
I would not describe most Chinese as red except to perhaps distinguish their country of origin from Taiwan or something
Capitalistic might be a better description.
OFS,
But you are exactly correct about what Al Qaeda will do unfortunately.
