** abstract ** Mandarin Chinese conditional ‘if’-clauses are introduced by //ru,// optionally combined with //guo.// The two versions differ concerning their tolerance of focus and topic fronting: ‘bare’ //ru// is compatible with focus on the subject but allows focus fronting of non-subjects only marginally, and strongly resists topic fronting; //ru guo// conditionals, by contrast, are consistently tolerant of focus, and enable topic fronting to the same extent that topicalization is permitted in clauses that serve as complements of matrix factive predicates. The paper proposes an explanatory syntactic analysis of the restriction imposed on focus and topic fronting on Mandarin conditional clauses, embedded within a principled syntax of conditionals, focus fronting, and topic fronting. \\
