Abstract

This article explores China's strategic approach to development, known as Lane-Change Overtaking (Huandao Chaoche), which emphasizes innovation, differentiation, and systemic coordination to bypass traditional development stages. This strategy involves identifying new tracks and building sufficient driving force to achieve leadership, as exemplified by China's success in the electric vehicle industry and its surge in patent applications. The core principles of Lane-Change Overtaking include aligning internal development needs with global trends, breaking path dependence, fostering disruptive innovation, and building robust ecosystems. This paper adopts critical, analytical, and comparative approaches to conduct the study. The lessons derived from China's experiences offer valuable insights for developing nations, particularly Muslim countries, seeking to accelerate progress and enhance their global competitiveness.

Abstract

This historiographical study investigates the role of Sufism in the development and continuity of Islam among Hui Muslims in China from the 7th to the 19th centuries. Using textual and historical analysis of Chinese chronicles, travel narratives, and Islamic educational materials, the study traces the institutional and doctrinal influence of Sufi thought across major Chinese dynasties. The study demonstrates that Sufism provided essential spiritual, intellectual, and organizational frameworks that enabled Hui Muslims to maintain their religious identity despite cultural assimilation, political pressure, and periods of severe persecution. During the Yuan dynasty, Sufi practices first gained institutional footing through the establishment of lodges (zawiya) in major cities. In the Ming period, Sufism's intellectual tradition became integrated into the innovative Jingtang Jiaoyu (scripture hall education) system, which preserved Islamic knowledge through traditional Chinese educational methods. The Qing dynasty witnessed the full institutionalization of Sufism through the emergence of formal Menhuan (Sufi orders)—including Khufiyya, Jahriyya, Qadiriyya, and Kubrawiyya—that established extensive networks of spiritual authority across China. Throughout these historical periods, Sufism served as a vital channel for the development of Islam among Hui Muslims in China, strengthening their faith and preserving their religious identity by providing crucial spiritual guidance and support.
