China is home to one of the world's largest Muslim populations, and the history of Islam in China is almost as old as the religion itself. In this episode, Kelly Hammond offers an overview of the history of Muslims in China, their links to the greater Muslim world, and their experience during the Japanese occupation of the World War II era.
