Readers may be interested in Peter Adamson’s ambitious History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps project: https://historyofphilosophy.net/. Part of the “without gaps” methodology is “looking at non-Western cultures,” and currently Professor Adamson has included considerable attention to Indian philosophy (in collaboration with Jonardan Ganeri), and he has already done a great deal with Islamic philosophy. As for Chinese: “…My further ambition is to cover the other philosophical traditions of Asia (especially Chinese) and also African philosophy and the philosophy of the African diaspora, but of course India will take a while so you’ll have to be patient if you are waiting for me to get to that!” (See here.)
Disturbing news from a colleague in Australia:
This is Yin Gao from the University of Newcastle, Australia. I have been teaching Chinese philosophy in this institution for over 15 years. I am afraid I have a rather bad news. My school decided to abolish philosophy major:

I wonder if you would announce the news here. My colleagues and I are dismayed by this decision. Currently, this proposed change is still under consultation. Any support from anyone would be much appreciated. They can send their comment to the following link:
Ruth.Hartmann@newcastle.edu.au or email me at my email as listed here.
UoN receive submission until Friday the 22nd of Sept [updated]. However, any comment after this date would still means a lot to us.

This book, the fruition of twenty years of research and writing about phenomenology, carefully and insightfully traces the complex historical relations between phenomenology and non-Western thought over the last century. It also offers a critical diagnosis of the contemporary impediments to, and possibilities for, intercultural philosophy.
