Hassan Yang Faming is the President of the China Islamic Association. This is a government-linked body which liaises with China’s Muslims.

The Hui are the most populous but the Uyghur have the greatest concentration in the Xinjiang region, where internment camps hold over a million Muslims in a bid to ‘re-educate’ them. The ‘Sinicization’ of Islam has stepped up in relentless fashion in the last few years.
