Slavic studies in China have long been conducted under the category of the Soviet Union and Eastern European studies. In the past three decades, the research in China has turned to the attention of various Slavic countries amid the evolving domestic and international situations. With a number of research findings in Slavic language, literature, and area studies, Slavic studies in China have contributed its share to the development of philosophy, social science, and the building of our country as a whole. As an emerging discipline, our research is expected to include studies of every Slavic country, do more comparative research among Slavic nations, optimize the discipline system, and amplify its voice worldwide. We believe that with the joint effort of Chinese researchers our Slavic studies will earn a place in the field of international Slavic research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
