Islam has been practiced in China since the 7th century CE.[1] Muslims are a minority group in China with an estimate of 17–25 million people, representing less than 2 percent of the total population.[2] Though Hui Muslims are the most numerous group,[3][4] the greatest concentration of Muslims are 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.[5] Of China's 55 officially recognized minority peoples, ten of these groups are predominantly Sunni Muslim.[5] As of 2024, a significant new wave of Chinese Uyghur Muslims is fleeing religious persecution in Xinjiang Province and seeking religious freedom in New York City.[6]
