Are the Shiite and Shia the two main branches within Islam?
No. Shiite and Shia are both names of one of the two main branches of Islam. Sunni or Ahl-Sunna is the other main branch. The reason that Shiite and Shia are both used is that Shiite is an English-language derivation of Shi3i (شيعي). Like many Biblical ethnicities that end in "i" in the Semitic languages, "ite" was added as an English suffix. (Some examples include: Israelite, Jebusite, Amorite, etc.) Shia comes directly from the Arabic Shi3a (شيعة).
How many Shia Muslims in China?
Most Shiite Chinese are considered Hui and many practice Taqiyya or religious dissimulation (basically they pretend to be Sunni in public) in order to avoid persecution. The Chinese government has often not been friendly with Shiite Muslims, believing them to be responsible for Muslim-on-Muslim Wars in Xinjiang (while, the Chinese government mistakenly believes that the Sunni Ghalchas and Uighurs are innocent in this matter). As a result, numbers are quite hard to come by. In terms of general information, most Chinese Shiites are the Ismaili Tajiks of the Tashkurgan and Sariqul areas of Xinjiang. The Shias of the Imami branch are numerous in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. Additionally, there are some Shiites who are recent immigrants from Iran, Lebanon, and other countries with large Shiite populations.
