Hui pan-nationalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hui pan-nationalism refers to the post-1949 (the foundation of the People's Republic of China) phenomenon of a sense of common nationhood kindled among diverse communities of Chinese-speaking Muslims (typically members of the Hui ethnic-cultural group), 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.
Hui pan-nationalism should be distinguished from nationalist sentiments by minority groups who are also Muslim such as those of the Uyghurs.
