Islamophobia in the People's Republic of China refers to the set of discourses, behaviors and structures which express feelings of anxiety, fear, hostility and rejection towards Islam and/or Muslims in China.
Negative views and attitudes towards Muslims in China are widespread, and some Muslim communities in China face legal restrictions on their ability to practice.[1] Muslim prisoners in detention centers and internment camps have faced practices such as being force-fed pork.[2] Prohibitions on fasting during Ramadan for Uyghurs in Xinjiang are couched in terms of protecting residents' free will.[3]
In the 21st century, coverage of Muslims in Chinese media has generally been negative,[4] and Islamophobic content is widespread on Chinese social media.[5] Anti-Muslim attitudes in China have been tied to both narratives regarding historical conflicts between China and Muslim polities as well as contemporary rhetoric related to terrorism in China and abroad.[6][7]
