- Abstract
China is the only country in Far East in which Jews have continually lived for over 1,000 years. The best-known Jewish community in China is the Kaifeng Jewry. What, if any, has been offi cial policy of China towards Jews and their religious practices? This article seeks to explain the issue from a historical perspective with a focus on the Kaifeng Jews, who have lived in China for many hundred years but are not considered as offi cial ethnic group. It does so by exploring offi cial attitudes (based on available documents) towards the Jews of Kaifeng over the past fi ve decades.
