Islam in China - Ancient 10th century Chinese mosque prayer hall ruins - Qingjing Ashab mosque, Quanzhou

The new active mosque is located to the side of the ruins and serves the Muslim community of Quanzhou which has a history of over 1000 years.

Quite contrary to the propaganda spread outside of China, the Chinese people have a pretty continuous thousands of years of tolerance toward real religions, even those coming from abroad. This I experienced first hand living and exploring there as a Muslim throughout most of the 2010s. Such that it wasn't only Buddhism which penetrated deep into the Middle Kingdom from India, but also Islam was protected and allowed to spread ever since the Song dynasty.
