Abstract Adopting a translation criticism approach of descriptive analysis, the thesis, from a cross-cultural perspective, combs through the development about translation, introduction and the acceptance of Naguib Mahfouz by the Chinese before and after he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. After a synchronic and diachronic study of the attitudes and ways of acceptance for Mahfouz during different periods, the thesis unravels the process in which Mahfouz’s literary image has developed from a simple “teller of social problems” to a sophisticated “writer of the world.” Besides, the thesis explores the Chinese scholars’ cultural filtering and value orientation towards Mahfouz, oriental writer and Nobel laureate, as well as Mahfouz’s influence and constraints of China’s present cultural and linguistic contexts.

Abstract The two ideas of moderation and syncretism are among the most distinctive ideas about the Chinese and Arab cultures, as they are similar in many aspects, such as the historical ground of their formation and development, the problems they are trying to address and the questions they raise, and moral, spirit and values that can be read through them. Comparing these two ideas contributes to a deep understanding of the values and ideas they share, as this comparison provides a solid basis for achieving exchange and integration between them. This kind of communication and exchange is particularly urgent in the context of realizing the “Belt and Road” slogan and the slogan of “A common future for mankind.” At the same time, it is necessary to recognize the differences between the two cultures when making the comparison, so the path leading to the integration of the Chinese and Arab cultures must be through adherence to the ideas of mutual understanding and openness advocated by both moderation and syncreticism, with awareness of their own identity.

Abstract The friendly exchanges between China and Arab countries have a long history. During Ming and Qing Dynasties, the cultural exchange between China and Arab countries was gradually shifted from the material level in Tang and Song Dynasties to the spiritual level. During that period, with the increase in the number of Muslims in China, and the deepening of Chinese people’s interest to the Arab world, research on the history and geography of Arab countries was strengthened, and traditional Chinese Confucian ideology was combined with the ideology of Arab Islamic culture, which promoted the integration and dialogue between Chinese Muslims and people who believed in Confucianism, and made Arab Islamic culture and Chinese culture have a deeper integration.

Abstract In recent years, space has become a new area of cooperation between China and Arab countries. This cooperation, based on mutual respect, openness, equality and mutual benefit, is of great importance due to its role in developing and strengthening relations between the two sides and pushing them forward. Despite the progress witnessed by the Chinese-Arab relations in the field of space sciences, there are challenges facing space cooperation between the two sides, relating to the conditions of some Arab countries that have suffered wars, and political, economic and social crises, in addition to the relationship that links the countries of the region with some major countries. This research sheds light on the space program of China and shows how this country has made great progress in the field of space sciences, it also includes the space program of Arabic countries, some of which have recently witnessed a remarkable development in space sciences, trying to catch up with the more developed countries in this field. This research also discusses the cooperation between China and Arab countries, stresses the importance of this cooperation, and puts forward the challenges that could impede the process of space cooperation.

Abstract The Chinese writer Lu Xun (1881-1936) is considered one of the most important writers in the history of Chinese literature. His works have been translated over the years into many foreign languages, including Arabic. In addition to translating his works, foreign researchers have presented many studies on his thought and literature, and Lu Xun’s studies and translations into Arabic played an important role in introducing Lu Xun’s creativity and thought and even modern Chinese literature in general, and these translations had a clear impact on the influence of a number of Egyptian and Arab writers on literature, like Egyptian writer Abdel Ghaffar Makawy and Syrian writer Olfat Al-Idlibi. With the development witnessed by the specialization of Chinese language and literature in Egypt, Lu Xun studies in Egypt saw a remarkable progress. A number of Egyptian researchers presented Chinese-language studies on Lu Xun literature in addition to studies that are presented from a comparative point of view between Lu Xun and a number of Egyptian writers.

Abstract The study mainly deals with the most important features of Chinese philosophy by taking Taoism and Confucianism for example. The study looks into the similarities and differences between them and highlights the most important contents, style of expression and backgrounds for Chinese philosophy. The study also gives a brief presentation of Taoism and Confucianism’s view of religion and metaphysical issues, and compares these thoughts with the Islamic philosophy, through a brief study of their ideas about the nature of the universal principle, knowledge of this universal principle, creation and formation, and the relationship between the universal principle and human beings, morals, reward and punishment, the hereafter and the second life. The study ends with a call for the convergence and understanding of the two civilizations after centuries of unfamiliarity.

Abstract The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a strategy initiated by Chinese government that seeks to connect Asia with Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks with the aim of increasing commercial exchange, stimulating economic growth and improving regional integration. The BRI comprises a Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st century Maritime Silk Road. The initiative defines five major priorities, namely policy coordination, infrastructure connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds. The BRI has been associated with large investment programs in infrastructure projects. It is also an increasingly important umbrella mechanism for China’s bilateral trade with BRI partners.

The paper also summarizes the history and development of Arab-Islamic manuscripts in detail, and the effects of these manuscripts on contemporary Arab-Islamic civilization. The second part of the paper focuses on the status of Islamic manuscripts in China, and offers a review of the history and development of Islamic manuscripts in China. Contrary to the common methods used in research related to Arab-Islamic civilization, the paper takes a look at the details of history, and is based on logical analysis, which shows the unique charm of Arabic-Islamic manuscripts and highlights their importance to the Arab- Islamic civilization, both in the past and at the present.

Abstract The economic relations between Saudi Arabia and modern China witnessed four stages: 1. the phase of almost no relationship, which lasted from 1949 AD until the mid-seventies of the last century; 2. the stage of initiating developing relations between the two countries after the start of economic reforms in China; 3. relations of highly advanced levels after the acceleration of the growth rates of the Chinese economy at the beginning of the new millennium; 4. the phase of transforming the Chinese economy into a locomotive that drags the rest of the train cars of the world economy, following the financial-economic crisis that hit the industrial hubs in 2008, whose epicenter was the United States after the mortgage crisis. During the fourth stage, two visions concurred: the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, and the China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which strengthened relations between the two countries. strengthened relations between the two countries.
