What do written characters, classrooms, and chatrooms have in common? They're all part of China's century-long adventure in modernizing its language. The Handbook of Language Planning and Policy in China brings together stories of how Putonghua rose to national fame, how minority languages navigate survival, and how English and Chinese compete in schools and on the global stage. Readers will meet families making tough choices, teachers shaping futures, and netizens inventing new ways to speak online. Fourteen chapters dive into China's bold linguistic journey - from Putonghua to minority tongues and English - showing how language isn't just a means of communication - It is power, identity, and imagination.
