This status allows the central government to extend its influence in the Central Asian zone and diversify its partners (China had still not recovered from the international isolation following the Tian Anmen crisis). Improving ties with the Middle East and the Muslim world had become an important component in the process of diversification of partners engaged by China particularly in the beginning of the 1990s. The Chinese Muslim communities, particularly the Hui, now play an increasing role as intermediaries with the Muslim world. Cf.
