Didn't China just boast recently about their elimination of 180 gangs of extremists?

And of course, India and Australia are having their own fair share of terrorists.
Global Terrorism rankings:
http://economicsandpeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Global-Terrorism-Index-2015.pdf
2 Asian Countries in the top 10.. 6-7 in the top 50. There is also only 4 Asian countries that didn't report having any attacks/casualties in 2014 from Terrorists (Japan, North Korea, South Korea and Vietnam). Now that doesn't mean that there wasn't any planned attacks, just that they were thwarted.
And that's probably going to change in 2015-2016. ISIS has been trying to hit South Korea. And I'm sure Japan is also on that list of Countries to hit, but they are very hard to get into and they watch over any Muslim that is inside their country like hawks.
Vietnam doesn't appear to be proactively going after terrorists, and terrorists travel thru Vietnam to get to China and then back to Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Isn't the Middle East region in Asia technically?
