Language Education Policies in Greater China

Abstract

Globalization and nation-state building are thetwo major factors that have conditioned language education policies in GreaterChina for over a century. The geopolitics of Greater China (Mainland, Taiwan,Hong Kong, and Macau) is the result of the global expansion of Westerncapitalism and colonialism. Conceived in the ideology of one nation, one state,and one language,language education was then among China’s fundamentalresponses to the West. To this end, the collapsing Qing Dynasty (1616-1911)managed to pass the Resolution on Methods of National Language Standardization(Tongyiguoyubanfa an) in its finalyear. Since then, language education has always been an important dimension ofChina’s nation-state building. The Republic of China (1912-present) startedwith a model of a republic of five ethnic groups (wuzugonghe) in the 1910s, evolved to that of an inclusive Chinesenation (zhonghuaminzu) in the 1940s, and now entertains thelatter with more diversity in Taiwan. The People’s Republic of China(1949-present) first followed the Soviet model of multinational-state buildingin the 1950s-1990s and has adopted a Chinese model of one nation with diversity(zhonghuaminzuduoyuanyiti) since thelate 1990s. These evolving models of nation-state building have essentiallyshaped language education polies in Greater China. Meanwhile the impact of thatold cycle of globalization is still felt as the politics of language educationunfolds in the former colonies, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, in the 21st century, but the new cycle of globalization of information and mobility seesChinese rise as a global language.
