"Islam expanded gradually across the maritime and inland silk routes from the 7th to the 10th centuries through war, trade, and diplomatic exchanges."

Edit: The Silk Road, which were extensive inland trade routes that spread all over the Mediterranean to east Asia, was used since 1000 B.C and continued to be used for a millennia. During this large period of time, most of the traders were Muslim and moved towards the East. Not only did these traders bring their goods, they also carried with them their culture and beliefs to Asia. Islam was one of the many religions that gradually began to spread across The Silk Road during the "7th to the 10th centuries through war, trade, and diplomatic exchanges."

"In China, Islam influenced technology, sciences, philosophy and the arts. In terms of material culture, one finds decorative motifs from central Asian Islamic architecture and calligraphy and the marked halal impact on northern Chinese cuisine."

Edit: In China, Islam influenced technology, sciences, philosophy and the arts. For example, the Chinese adopted much Islamic medical knowledge such as wound healing and urinalysis. However, the Chinese were not the only ones to benefit from the cultural exchanges of the Silk Road. Islam showed many influences from buddhist China in their new techniques in art, especially when humans began to be depicted in paintings which was thought to be forbidden in Islam. In terms of material culture, one finds decorative motifs from central Asian Islamic architecture and calligraphy and the marked halal impact on northern Chinese cuisine."

In October 2018, the BBC News published an investigative exposé claiming based on satellite imagery and testimony that hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities are being held without trial in internment camps in Xinjiang. Some sources quoted in the article say “As far as I know, the Chinese government wants to delete Uighur identity from the world.”

Edit: In October 2018, the BBC News published an investigative exposé claiming based on satellite imagery and testimony that hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities are being held without trial in internment camps in Xinjiang. This seems like a very conservative number when comparing the estimates of the United States Department of Defense, who believe that around 1 million to 3 million people have been detained and put in the re-education camps. Some sources quoted in the article say “As far as I know, the Chinese government wants to delete Uighur identity from the world.”

Edit: The Xinjiang re-education camps are officially called "Vocational Education and Training Centers" by the Chinese government. The re-education camps are concentration camps that have been operated by the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Regional government since 2014. However, the efforts of the camps strongly intensified after a change of head for the region. There have been many reports that millions of Uyghurs are being held with no trial and no charges against them. Alongside the Uyghurs, Muslims and many other ethnic minorities have also been reported to be held in these re-education camps. As of 2019, 23 nations in the United Nations have signed a letter condemning China for these concentration camps and asking them to close them.

Even worse, The UN Human Rights Counsel has found that China has been actively harvesting organs from the prisoners of their re-education camps and selling them on the global market.

Edit: The term Hui originated from the Mandarin "Huihui," a term first used in the Yuan dynasty to describe Central Asian, Persian and Arab residents in China. Many of the Muslim traders and soldiers eventually settled down in China and married Chinese wives. This gave rise to the Hui Muslims, meaning Chinese-speaking Muslims.

However, when countries do decide to criticize China, they do so in groups in hopes of lessening punishments from China.
