The Chinese have been clamping down on the Uyghur for a long time. The ineptness of this attack shows they're no real threat to the govt, but as part of the growing discontent within the country they may be.
The government is far more worried about the economic situation and the millions of migrants workers around China than they are a relative handful of malcontents in western China.
But I don't doubt that the Chinese will have any hesitation in sending anyone they catch to meet Mohammed personally. Their security organizations are far less friendly than ours in the West are.
