China has passed a new law that seeks to "Sinicize" Islam within the next five years, the latest move by Beijing to rewrite how religion is practised in the country, the media reported on Sunday.
China's leading English newspaper, Global Times, reported on Saturday that after a meeting with representatives from eight Islamic associations, government officials "agreed to guide Islam to be compatible with socialism and implement measures to 'Sinicize' the religion", according to reports.
China has embarked on an aggressive "Sinification" campaign in recent years with faith groups that were largely tolerated in the past seeing their freedoms shrink under Chinese President Xi Jinping.
