Ma Bufang was the Muslim-Chinese Hui governor of Amdo / Qinghai . Since this north-east Tibetan highland region leaned on Tibet , he came into conflict with Tibetan rulers in Kham , which he tried to rule, but also with Liu Wenhui , who ruled over the neighboring province of Sichuan to the south-east . In the Sino-Japanese War , his troops fought alongside Chiang Kai-shek . After the end of the war he lived mainly in Muslim Arab countries and was the Republic of China's ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1957 to 1961 .
