Abstract | Jewish history in China dates to at least the 8th century, when West Asian traders roamed the Silk Road. However, China and Israel, two ancient nations reborn after World War II, lacked ties until 1992. A vibrant Jeweish community appeared on the banks of the Huangpu for a flash in history. Now scholars and former refugees are trying to make sense of it all. |
