Although Muslims have resided in China since the earliest days of Islam (primarily as traders along the southeast coast) it was not until the Mongol Yuan Dynasty (1261–1364) that hundreds of thousands of Muslims from Central Asia and the Middle East settled permanently in China, creating communities in every region of the country. Today, most of the more than 20 million Muslims living in China are descended from these thirteenth century settlers.
