Abstract

This chapter scrutinizes the PRC’s cultural and linguistic outreach, as an essential dimension of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, to greater China and ethnic Chinese communities overseas . In greater China, the PRC’s outreach runs into barriers in the construction of a unified linguistic identity and is challenged for its cultural and linguistic authenticity in representing China. Globally, the PRC’s outreach involves questions of where ethnic Chinese communities’ loyalty lies and whom they identify with. Past outreaches, in the name of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, by the ROC and the PRC, respectively, victimized Chinese communities in Southeast Asia twice in the twentieth century. It is concerned that the PRC’s current outreach may lead to potential political damages to ethnic Chinese overseas in the twentieth century.
