      Yep. Independent Turkic kingdoms were in the region until China conquered them in the 18th century.

        Oh indeed, I assumed this was in North Western China.

        The Muslim minority in Yunnan is probably the Hui. They, however, are “native” from North Western China. Considering they are also present in Kazakhstan and Kirghizstan, they might be turkic too.

        So these Hui migrated inside China after their homeland was colonised instead of Yunnan being a colony directly. Repressing your colonised population still is colonial bullshit
