About this book

Written by a leading scholar who has been closely involved in language planning in China over many decades, this collection of essays is a critical reflection of the work the Chinese government and academics have undertaken in establishing appropriate policies regarding language standard, language use and language education.

Reviews

"This new translated collection of writing by Li Yuming goes well beyond the topic of Chinese language planning, and could well form the basis for a guide to the field of language management as a whole. It demonstrates the sophistication of Chinese language management, especially in its recognition of the importance of computers and IT. Its publication will help build up the possibility of cooperation between Chinese and Western scholars in the study of language policy and management."
Berard Spolsky in: Lang Policy 18 (2019), 155-157
