Lunde, Paul. "Muslims in China: The History." Saudi Aramco World, July/August 1985, http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198504/muslims.in.china-an.introduction.htm.

Lunde's article appears to be well researched and contains quotes and references to many historical documents.  It mostly discusses the introduction of Islam to what is today China by Arabs, ancestors of the Hui.  Lunde's discussion of Turkic Muslims in the region is limited.  He discusses in detail the relationship between Ch'agan (Xi'an) and Baghdad.  There are only a few paragraphs at the end briefly discussing the history of Islam in what is today China from the initial period to modern times.  Descriptors: 1980s, archival, China, history, L, magazine, pre-Tsarist; Hui, Xi'an, Kashgar, Ferghana
