Stand Off! Hui Muslims Confront Chinese Police Over Mosque Demolition On 26th May 2023, Hui Muslims gathered outside the historic Najiaying mosque in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province to prevent Chinese authorities and riot police from the demolishing the Dome and Minarets of the mosque. The Chinese police were forced to retreat due to strong resistance and many Hui Muslims stayed outside the mosque overnight to prevent the demolition.
