As well as tough counter-terrorism moves, measures to improve quality of life by securing jobs and education should also be adopted as a soft but fundamental touch to address the threat.

In the wake of a series of bloody terror attacks, the top party leadership has unveiled a policy package on governing the country's far-western region of Xinjiang.

Creating jobs is top of the agenda while balancing the geographical spread of education is labeled a priority.

The party has vowed to ensure that at least one person from zero-employment families is offered a job and free senior high school education in southern Xinjiang. Chinese children are generally entitled to nine years of free education, covering primary and junior high schools.

Terrorist attacks in Xinjiang in recent years have been initiated by an extreme minority. However, the perpetrators share similarities such as youth, poverty, unemployment or little educational background.

Xinjiang police detected and dealt with 23 terrorist and religious extremist groups and caught over 200 suspects earlier last month. Many of the suspects were in their 20s and 30s. They consumed terrorist propaganda videos and audio online and via storage devices, and learned how to make explosives.

China is targeting popular smartphone-based instant messaging services in a month-long campaign to crack down on the spreading of rumors and what it calls infiltration of hostile forces.

Such services incorporate social media functions that allow users to post photos and updates to their friends, or follow the feeds of companies, social groups or celebrities. Some accounts attract hundreds of thousands of followers.

The Information Office of the State Council, China's Cabinet, says the country will firmly crackdown on people spreading rumors and information related to violence, terrorism and pornography.

The campaign will target public accounts on services including WeChat, run by Tencent, which has surged in popularity in the last two years.

People can subscribe to feeds from public accounts without first exchanging greeting messages, as must be done with private ones, which typically link friends and acquaintances.

The information office notes that such services had become popular online communication channels; and some people had used them to distribute illegal and harmful information. This has seriously undermined public interests and order in cyberspace.

Google will build a car without a steering wheel. It doesn't need one because it drives itself.

The two-seater won't be sold publicly. Next the company hopes that by this time next year, 100 prototypes will be on public roads. Though not capable of being driven very fast, the top speed will be 25 miles per hour.

The cars are a natural next step for Google, which already has driven hundreds of thousands of miles in California with cars outfitted with a combination of sensors and computers.

Those cars have Google-employed "safety drivers" behind the wheel in case of emergency. There is no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator, but instead, there are buttons for go and stop. The new cars will eliminate the driver from the task of driving.

The electric-powered car is compact and bubble-shaped, and can move people around a corporate campus or congested city center area.

Google is unlikely to go deeply into auto manufacturing. In unveiling the prototype, the company emphasized partnering with other firms.

The biggest obstacle could be the law. Test versions will have a wheel and pedals, because they must under California regulations.

Google hopes to build the 100 prototypes late this year or early next year, and use them in a pilot program.
