Huimin bao

Huimin bao (Dungan: Хуэймин бо; Chinese: 回民报) is a socio-political newspaper published in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

[1] In 2014 the Kyrgyz Hui Muslim Association and the China News Agency Xinjiang Branch cooperated to increase the Chinese version of Huimin bao.

[2] In the same year, the Chinese decided to rename the newspaper as Zhongya Huimin bao (Central Asian Hui Newspaper; 中亚回民报, Җун-я Хуэймин бо) due to the fact that Dungan people (part of the Hui ancestry) are spread throughout Central Asia.

[1][5] In 1930, the newspaper was first known in Kyrgyz as Sabattuu bol (Сабаттуу бол, 'Be Literate') and was written in the Kirghiz ASSR.

[1] During the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the newspaper was renamed once again to Huimin bao and the circulation was changed to monthly with about 3,000 copies today.
