Hui pan-nationalism
Hui 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.
Hui pan-nationalism should be distinguished from nationalist sentiments by Chinese groups who are also Muslim such as those of the Uighurs.
