Ask a QuestionChina is home to more than 23 million Muslims, most of which are located in the central and western regions of China, such as Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, etc. Muslims also can be found throughout the provinces of Yunnan in southwest China and Henan in central China. However, there are also some individual members of traditionally Muslim ethnic groups, which may live in other regions. Additionally, Tibetan Muslims are officially classified along with the Tibetan people.
In the regions where the Muslim population is concentrated, China has set up special administrative organs and implemented the policy of regional national autonomy.
