China’s Hajj Affairs under the Perspective of National Security
Öz
Since
the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), China has formed a Hajj
management mode which is led by the government and underscores the
securitization of the Hajj. This is not only a reasonable choice under specific
historical background, but also an important bond in the relationship between
PRC and Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, with the development of the times, the
difficulties for Chinese Muslims obtaining the Hajj chance has become an
indisputable fact. The consequently securitization of the Hajj and
de-securitization of the Hajj should have to be arranged according to the
change of times. Only to clarify the specific functions of the relevant
departments as well as the introduction of market mechanisms on the management
and organization of the Hajj, that is, government making macro policy, the
Islamic associations providing ancillary services, and travel agency launching
specific business for Hajj, can truly solve the contradiction between the
“difficulties in the Hajj” and the maintenance of China’s national security.
