Abstract

China has emerged as a pivotal player in the global halal economy, driven by its substantial Muslim population and strategic initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This paper examines China’s halal supply chain management (HSCM), focusing on certification frameworks, technological innovations, and challenges such as fragmented regulations and consumer distrust. Efforts to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are evident, particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), through halal industrial zones and blockchain-enabled traceability. Despite advancements, inconsistencies in halal certification and geopolitical tensions hinder China’s global competitiveness. Recommendations include centralizing oversight, adopting digital tools, and strengthening international partnerships to enhance transparency and trust. The study underscores the potential of China’s halal sector to model sustainable, inclusive growth while addressing cultural and religious diversity.
