China is home to one of the largest Muslim minorities in Asia. Their presence connects this vast country to the global Muslim community, or Umma. The introduction of Islam to China is linked to the history of the Silk Roads, missions, and traders of various origins. The syncretization of Islam with secular spiritual traditions makes China a hub of Sufi heritage, both in its tangible and intangible aspects.
