Hainan province is China’s southernmost territory, a tropical island of white-sand beaches, palm trees and home to around 10,000 now-persecuted Muslims.
The Utsuls are the latest Muslim ethnic group targeted by Beijing’s nationwide Chinese Communist Party (CCP) campaign against Islam.
The campaign is notorious for its internationally condemned treatment of ethnic Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, which many countries condemn as genocide.
Now the Sunni Utsuls are also feeling the grip of Beijing’s strict controls.
Beijing’s plan to harass Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims is designed to control religions so the CCP can remain the dominant ideology, says Gu Yi, a Muslim political commentator who  told VOA Mandarin service that the campaign’s objective is to eliminate Islamic culture from China.
