Abstract
The article is devoted to the consideration of the present positions on the implementation of China's policy in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the measures it implements against the Muslim population. The tendency of interrelation of economic processes, as well as integration into global supranational projects (BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization) is revealed as factors for neutralizing and positivizing published opinions. The role of Arab countries as leaders of the Islamic world in this process is determined. The work was based on official publications in the media and expert assessments. As a result of the conducted research, it was possible to identify the main positions of Muslim countries in relation to Chinese national policy in the study region.
