Lots of Chinese went to Syria to joined Islamic groups there during the height of the war, including ISIS, even known oldest muhajireen (immigrant) that went hijrah to ISIS was from PRC.
Not just ISIS for sure, Chinese people there have their own group fighting against Assad’s forces named Hizb Islamiya Turkistan, Turkistan referring East Turkistan (Xinjiang).
Jisr Al-Shughur located in Idlib HTS territory is where the 2nd Xinjiang is, more “freedom of religion” for them compared to PRC.
