Since 2016, China's President Xi Jinping has been propagating a "Sinicization of religions". Religious communities are tolerated – but only if they are subordinate to socialism. Muslim communities are being "renovated" accordingly, for example, the Niujie district in Beijing or the Nanguan Mosque in the northwestern Chinese city of Yinchuan.
