ISIS has threatened China for the first time after releasing a video showing Chinese Muslim minority fighters vowing to return home and attack their country.

The clip, which has allegedly been released by one of the main terrorist channels in Iraq and features children, as well as men.

Young boys are filmed practicing martial arts and loading rifles during a timed exercise.

The 30 minute clip was released on Monday and claimed to show the daily lives of Chinese terrorists based in Iraq and the Middle East .

Shockingly, the footage also shows killings, although Mirror.co.uk has chosen to censor the clip.

Just before carrying out an execution, one militant says to the camera: "You Chinese people who don't understand the language of the people.

"We - the soldiers of the Caliphate - will come to you and teach you the language of weapons, to spill rivers of blood as revenge against the oppressors.

The man then slits the throat of his victim, hanging from the ceiling in an orange jumpsuit as a young boy looks on.

According to the SITE Intelligence Group, which analysed the footage, the video features militants from China's Uighar ethnic group.

In the past China has blamed minority members of the Uighar community for horrifying attacks in the country's Xinjiang region and has warned that the group has potential links to terrorist cells.

The Uighar community have often complained about being targeted by the Chinese government.

Earlier this year, China or dered drivers to fit GPS trackers to their cars so Muslims can be monitored by authorities.

The "police state" policy was designed so officials can keep a closer eye on the Uighurs, a minority Muslim group the Government says is being radicalised by foreign jihadists.

Anyone who fails to comply with the GPS rule will be refused access to petrol stations and will be unable to sell their vehicle.

The draconian rule was imposed in the Bayingolin Mongol, a self-governing region of north-west China in the province of Xinjiang.

Drivers have until the end of June to install the Beidou navigation system in their cars at a cost of £25 a year.
