Moabites are a clan of people that lived in the region of Moab (land along eastern shore of the Dead Sea) from the early biblical times that were not recognized as followers of God. They worshiped their own gods.
Ruth (the person who followed Naomi) was a member of the clan before she renounced her faith to follow the one true God.

700.1 Kings 11:1 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter-Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

There is some historical evidence suggesting that the Moabites may have practiced child sacrifice in certain extreme circumstances. Some ancient texts and archaeological findings indicate that this practice was not uncommon among some ancient civilizations, including the Moabites. However, it's important to note that not all Moabites would have participated in or condoned such practices.
Moab, Israel and Judah were three of the small independent West Semitic states to arise around the same time, following the decline of the Canaanite city-states. It may seem surprising that the Israelites and Judahites are now understood by scholars to have been West Semitic (Canaanite) people like the Moabites, but the Moabites never came to be regarded as Jewish. The Bible talks of a common bond between the people of the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, but this bond is not evident with the Moabites.
The Moabites and Canaanites were likely of Semitic origin, with similar physical characteristics such as dark hair and eyes and olive-toned skin. Specific descriptions vary, but they were likely to have looked similar to other ancient Near Eastern peoples of the time.
AnswerIf we go back more than two hundred thousand years, we find common ancestors for all humans. Chinese and Moabites are related by descent from the earliest humans in east Africa, just as Hebrews, Arabs, Celts, Australian Aborigines and African Bantus are.
