Abstract
This article aims to offer a comparative study on how the Hui ethnic group and Christianity try to implant themselves in the late Ming Chinese society. Though the Hui's Islam is an ethnic religion and Christianity is spreading, the strategies of both religions in attempting to implant in Chinese society are similar: they chose to accommodate with the Confucianism. It is unfortunate that though the foreign religions tried to assimilate with Confucianism, the Chinese Confucian society was still quiet intolerant to them at that time.
