Chinese Muslims, also known as Hui people, are an ethnic group in China who practice Islam. They primarily speak Mandarin and have a rich cultural heritage that blends traditional Chinese customs with Islamic practices. The Hui are spread across various regions in China, with significant populations in cities like Ningxia and Xi'an.
Another prominent group of Chinese Muslims is the Uyghurs, who primarily reside in the Xinjiang region. Unlike the Hui, the Uyghurs speak their own Turkic language and have distinct cultural traditions. Both groups contribute to the diverse tapestry of Chinese society while facing unique challenges related to their religious and cultural identities.
