Not because I truly advocate this, but as a thought experiment, I wanted to toss this little bit of Machiavellianism out there for the neoconservative readership to mull over and respond to, if they wish.
Seeing that radical jihadists have been and will continue to be a destructive force in world affairs, and presuming a certain measure of legitimacy to sphere-influence and responsibility, what objection(s) would you have to the CIA or other covert agency fomenting political assassinations, terror attacks, and mayhem on an increased scale in China designed to deliberately provoke the Sleeping Dragon into massive military responses to Islamic fundamentalist strongholds?
