This article examines the modern social history of Chinese Hui Muslims in the context of transregional connections within and beyond the borders of the two modern Chinese nation-states, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China on Taiwan. The article applies Engseng Ho’s concepts for the study of Inter-Asia to the biographical study of several prominent Hui religious professionals and intellectuals. The experiences and personal contributions to the development of modern Chinese Muslim culture of people like Imam Ma Songting are scrutinized, along with political and ideological conflicts over different visions of Chineseness and “Huiness” during the turbulent twentieth century. It is argued that when studying the social history of Chinese Muslims, researchers should not limit themselves to the religious activities of Hui elites that occurred within the confines of the two Chinese nation-states, but should also take into consideration the expansion of those elites’ religious activities abroad and the intensive circulation of knowledge across Inter-Asian spaces in which they participated.

Since the beginning of the reform and opening up in China nearly four decades ago, China’s Muslim minorities have restored connections with the global Muslim ummah (community) through religious pilgrimages, business activities, and educational and cultural exchanges. Whether attracted by better economic prospects or for religious purposes, an increasing number of Chinese Muslims have found ways out of China, taking sojourns or eventually settling down in diverse locations across the globe. Drawing on the author’s field research in China, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, combined with a review of key studies on Chinese Muslims in Southeast Asia, this paper traces the shape of Chinese Muslim transnational networks and examines the construction of “Chinese Muslim” identity in the diaspora. By locating the study of contemporary Chinese Muslims within the broader scholarship on transnational religion, this paper deepens our understanding of the impact of globalization on ethnoreligious minorities.

Demand for halal food items is rising in China, and domestic producers are striving to meet it. But while the growth of China’s domestic halal market mirrors increasing demand around the world, it is difficult for Chinese producers to tap into the global market, due not least to the lack of internationally recognized halal certification processes. This problem was the focus of a recent halal trade fair and conference in Xi’an that featured Muslim religious leaders and halal industry specialists from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Brunei, but not from China. The event was organized and supported by local government and business authorities, who worked with an international Muslim marketing firm that will assist local halal producers to obtain recognized halal certification. This paper examines the Xi’an conference and trade fair as an example of the commercialization and branding of halal in China and explores the ramifications of this process for Muslims in China and for China’s desire to participate in the growing transnational halal economy.
