Hui Pan-nationalismHui pan-nationalism refers to the post-1949 phenomenon of a sense of common nationhood kindled among diverse communities of Chinese-speaking Muslims, due to the dialectics between the Hui nationality designation by the Communist government and the process of modernization of traditional Muslim Chinese groups and individuals. This sense of nationalism amoung the Hui has largely been agitated by suppression of the Islamic faith in China, as well as efforts to undermine the cultural and social identity of the Hui people by the Chinese government. Hui pan-nationalism should be distinguished from nationalist sentiments by minority groups who are also Muslim such as those of the Uyghurs. See also:
