| Summary/Abstract |
China is a multi-ethnic political entity with diverse historical legacies and the modern capabilities to potentially change the current world order. The essence and prospects of China’s policy towards the Muslims may provide important clues about future relations between the world and China. Therefore, more serious studies into how the Chinese regime has dealt with Muslim issues and how Chinese ethnicity has been changed are required. This special issue of ‘Muslims across the Chinese border’ enlists six in-depth papers on this critical topic with multidisciplinary and multidimensional analyses. Up-to-date issues like the mechanisms of internationalization of ethnic grievances, effects of China’s religious policy in the Han-Chinese area and Central Asia, and the evolution of satisfactory feeling of overseas Chinese Muslims are addressed. Insights provided by these cutting-edge studies will encourage more innovative ideas on the studies of Chinese Muslims, and global Muslims as a whole.

| Summary/Abstract |
The current study relies on the social psychological notion of altercasting and the anthropological notion of post-Chineseness to appreciate the identity strategies of the Philippine’s China watchers. Basically, the case study suggests that the attainment of the sympathetic capacity to understand China can enrich the knowledge of those China watchers coming from an external position. However, adhering to an internal position of China watching would disempower ethnic Chinese scholars in the Philippines in fully participating in the indigenous community. Therefore, in the long run, the trend is for all ethnic scholars to establish distance from internal perspectives on China and practice watching China from the outside from time to time.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article is an endeavour to give a portrait of the outstanding Russian emigrant scholar Sergei Shirokogoroff (1887–1939) as an anthropologist on the basis of his letters to the well-known Soviet sinologist V. M. Alekseev (1881–1951). The letters relate to the period 1926–1932 and were written in the Chinese towns of Amoy (now Xiamen), Canton (Guangzhou), Yunnanfu (now Kunming), and Peking. Today, they are kept in the V. M. Alekseev archive in the St. Petersburg Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The letters touch on themes that the scholars had considered and worked on: general, special, and applied questions of linguistics (the Ural–Altaic language family; Chinese phonetics and hieroglyphics, and the languages of the people of China; and Latinisation of the Chinese script); the anthropology of science, mainly ethnology and sinology; Tungus-Manchurian ethnography; and general theoretical speculation including thoughts on ethnos. This unique source permits one to get acquainted with scientific views that were not reflected in Shirokogoroff’s works and also to understand his personality more deeply.
