The following map shows regions in China with large number of Chinese Muslims.
While other provinces and regions may not have that many Muslims but Muslims are nonetheless found in all parts of China. One of the reasons is because traditionally Muslims were involved in trade in China.
Brief Bio: Wang Daiyu is a doctoral student and the editor of the Islam in China webzine. He also maintains a blog on Islam and China.
[...] Map of Muslims in Chna I came across this map a few weeks ago at Ibn Ayyub’s blog, but neglected to mention it here. The map was created by Wang Daiyu, who writes the Islam in China blog and has recently created an Islam in China webzine. Both are very interesting if you’ve never visited there before. The number of Muslims of Chinese descent in Singapore is very, very tiny. Per the “Census of Population 2000 - Demographic Characteristics” report, the number of Chinese Muslims here was 0.3% of the Chinese population as of 2000. That comes out to be roughly 7,500 Chinese Muslims over the age of 15. Milady has occasionally pointed out to me those Chinese Muslims whom she knows, but I haven’t really had the chance to talk to them.
