Officially Taiwan has only 60,000 Muslim population, which constitutes only 0.2 % of the total population of Taiwan but many Muslims from countries like Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Turkey, Pakistan, India, and countries from Africa and the Middle East are part of the workforce which was estimated up to 254,000 in 2015. Interestingly, the number of local Muslims is less than those who came here to work or to study.

The origin and diversification of Muslim Hui people in China via demic or simple cultural diffusion is a long-going debate. We here generated genome-wide data at nearly 700,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 45 Hui and 14 Han Chinese individuals collected from Guizhou province in southwest China. We applied principal component analysis (PCA), ADMIXTURE, f-statistics, qpWave, and qpAdm analysis to infer the population genetic structure and admixture history. Our results revealed the Guizhou Hui people have a limited amount of West Eurasian related ancestry at a proportion of 6%, but show massive genetic assimilation with indigenous southern Han Chinese and Tibetan or Tungusic/Mongolic related northern East Asians. We also detected a high frequency of North Asia or Central Asia related paternal Y-chromosome but not maternal mtDNA lineages in Guizhou Hui. Our observation supports the cultural diffusion has played a vital role in the formation of Hui people and the migration of Hui people to southwest China was probably a sex-biased male-driven process.

The global Halal Hot Pot Seasoning market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing popularity of hot pot cuisine worldwide and the expanding global Muslim population. This burgeoning demand for Halal-certified food products, coupled with the convenience and flavor profile of pre-packaged seasonings, fuels market expansion. The market's segmentation reveals a significant portion attributed to online sales channels, reflecting the increasing adoption of e-commerce for food purchases. Solid seasonings currently dominate the product type segment, but liquid and other innovative formats are emerging, catering to diverse consumer preferences and culinary applications. Key players in the market, such as Sichuan Teway Food and Zhong Mu (Chongqing) Food, are strategically focusing on product diversification and expanding their distribution networks to capitalize on this growth. Regional analysis indicates strong performance in Asia Pacific, particularly in China and other ASEAN countries, due to high consumption of hot pot and a substantial Muslim population. However, growth in North America and Europe is expected to increase as awareness of Halal products rises and culinary trends evolve. While challenges exist in maintaining consistent supply chains and managing fluctuating raw material prices, the overall market outlook remains positive, promising substantial growth over the forecast period. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the Halal Hot Pot Seasoning market suggests a steady increase in market value. This growth trajectory is anticipated to be sustained by the ongoing expansion of the Halal food sector, continuous innovation in seasoning formulations, and the broader global adoption of hot pot as a culinary preference. Further, strategic marketing campaigns focusing on convenience, flavor profiles, and Halal certification will play a crucial role in driving market penetration, particularly in regions with growing Muslim populations but limited awareness of Halal hot pot seasonings. Competition amongst existing players is expected to intensify, leading to product innovation, price optimization strategies, and an increased emphasis on brand building and customer loyalty. Geographical diversification by major players will continue to be a key strategy for maximizing revenue streams and mitigating regional market risks. The introduction of novel seasoning blends, incorporating diverse flavor profiles and catering to specific dietary requirements, presents a significant opportunity for market expansion and differentiation.

In 2025, **** percent of the Malaysian population were classified as Bumiputera, **** percent were classified as ethnic Chinese, and *** percent as ethnic Indians. Those who do not fall under these three main ethnic groups are classified as ‘Other.’ Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society with three main ethnicities and language groups. Who are Malaysia’s Bumiputera? Bumiputera, meaning sons of the soil, is a term used to categorize the Malays, as well as the indigenous peoples of Peninsular Malaysia, also known as "orang asli", and the indigenous peoples of Sabah and Sarawak. As 2024, the Bumiputera share of the population in Sabah was ** percent, while that in Sarawak was **** percent. Thus, the incorporation of the states of Sabah and Sarawak during the formation of Malaysia ensured that the ethnic Malays were able to maintain a majority share of the Malaysian population. Bumiputera privileges and ethnic-based politics The rights and privileges of the Malays and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak are enshrined in Article 153 of Malaysia’s constitution. This translated, in practice, to a policy of affirmative action to improve the economic situation of this particular group, through the New Economic Policy introduced in 1971. 50 years on, it is questionable whether the policy has achieved its aim. Bumiputeras still lag behind the other ethnic two major groups in terms of monthly household income. However, re-thinking this policy will certainly be met by opposition from those who have benefitted from it.

In 1800, the population of the region of present-day India was approximately 169 million. The population would grow gradually throughout the 19th century, rising to over 240 million by 1900. Population growth would begin to increase in the 1920s, as a result of falling mortality rates, due to improvements in health, sanitation and infrastructure. However, the population of India would see it’s largest rate of growth in the years following the country’s independence from the British Empire in 1948, where the population would rise from 358 million to over one billion by the turn of the century, making India the second country to pass the billion person milestone. While the rate of growth has slowed somewhat as India begins a demographics shift, the country’s population has continued to grow dramatically throughout the 21st century, and in 2020, India is estimated to have a population of just under 1.4 billion, well over a billion more people than one century previously. Today, approximately 18% of the Earth’s population lives in India, and it is estimated that India will overtake China to become the most populous country in the world within the next five years.
