Abstract
Similar to other Muslim nations, contemporary Islamic thoughts in China are diverse and at the same time greatly influential on individual and particularly social aspects of life. This paper, examines various Islamic thoughts present in the contemporary China, the processes of their formation and evolution over the course of time, and their founders or important thinkers. The interesting point about Islamic thoughts and currents in China is the effect of Chinese culture and norms on them to the extent that there is a Contemporary Islamic thought in China, named Xidaotang, which has no parallel in Islamic world and is exclusive to China.
