Chang, Teng-Chi	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

This study of the historical Chinese cases is an engagement with the ongoing debates on the Chinese view of international order and the prospect of Beijing’s supersize project like the Belt and Road Initiative. The overarching idea of this paper is to locate and contemplate the similar dynamics of an ethnically diverse Asia in the sixth, and the seventeenth century, and the continued feature about how various Chinese regimes managed it. Four historical types of international orders (Tianxia) China perceived are accordingly constructed. It argues, as the current internal order is partially challenged by China’s rise, that either the future order or the Chinese ethnic policy will be a mixed one resembling my historical types. A purified Westphalian ‘myth’ and the modern order based on it may be reaching its end, as we are envisaging.

Chang, Teng-Chi	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

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.
