Islam in China
Islam has been practiced in China since the 7th century CE. There are an estimated 25.9 million Muslims in China according to the 2020 National Census, less than 2 percent of the total population. Though Hui Muslims are the most numerous group, the greatest concentration of Muslims reside in northwestern China's Xinjiang autonomous region, which contains a significant Uyghur population. Lesser yet significant populations reside in the regions of Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai. Of the People's Republic of China's 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities, ten of these groups are predominantly Sunni Muslim. Shia Muslims are also present in China, particularly among communities with historical and cultural ties to Central Asia and Iran.
