  • I Want to Be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition
    Volume 6 Issue 1 2020 “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v6i1.2020.4398 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan The years leading up to the political handover of Hong Kong to Mainland China surfaced issues regarding national identification and intergroup relations. These issues manifested in Hong Kong films of the time in the form of film characters’ language ideologies. An analysis of six films reveals three themes: (1) the assumption of mutual intelligibility between Cantonese and Putonghua, (2) the importance of English towards one’s Hong Kong identity, and (3) the expectation that Mainland immigrants use Cantonese as their primary language of communication in Hong Kong. The recurrence of these findings indicates their prevalence amongst native Hongkongers, even in a post-handover context. 1 Introduction The handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1997 marked the end of 155 years of British colonial rule. Within this socio-political landscape came questions of identification and intergroup relations, both amongst native Hongkongers and Mainland Chinese (Tong et al. 1999, Brewer 1999). These manifest in the attitudes and ideologies that native Hongkongers have towards the three most widely used languages in Hong Kong: Cantonese, English, and Putonghua (a standard variety of Mandarin promoted in Mainland China by the Government).

  • 10. HONG KONG's STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE UNDER CHINESE SOVEREIGNTY Tai Ming Cheung Hong Kong Has Come a Long Way Since It Was
    - 170 - 10. HONG KONG’S STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE UNDER CHINESE SOVEREIGNTY Tai Ming Cheung Hong Kong has come a long way since it was dismissed as a barren rock a century and a half ago. This bastion of freewheeling capitalism today is a leading international financial, trading and communications center serving one of the world’s fastest growing economic regions. But Hong Kong is also entering a period of considerable change and uncertainty following its reversion to Chinese sovereignty that is likely to have a far- reaching impact on its strategic importance and role over the coming years. As a British colony, Hong Kong was an important outpost for the West to keep an eye on China and safeguard busy sea-lanes. Under Chinese rule, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) will play a crucial role in boosting China’s economic growth and promoting Beijing’s long-term goal of reunification with Taiwan. How China handles Hong Kong’s return will have major consequences for the territory as well as for China’s relations with the international community. The world will be watching very carefully whether Beijing will adhere to its international commitments of allowing the SAR to retain a high degree of autonomy. The U.S. has said that the transition will be a key issue in determining its future relations with China. This paper will examine the strategic implications of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule. Several key issues will be explored: • Hong Kong's past and present strategic significance. • The stationing of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Hong Kong.

  • Adducin Gly460trp Polymorphism and Essential Hypertension Risk in Chinese: a Meta-Analysis
    Hypertension Research (2011) 34, 389–399 & 2011 The Japanese Society of Hypertension All rights reserved 0916-9636/11 $32.00 www.nature.com/hr ORIGINAL ARTICLE a-adducin Gly460Trp polymorphism and essential hypertension risk in Chinese: a meta-analysis Kuo Liu1,4, Ya Liu1,4, Jielin Liu1, Zuoguang Wang1, Yuqing Lou1, Yan Huang2, Qiuli Niu1,WeiGu1, Xiaoling Zhu3 and Shaojun Wen1,5 No clear consensus has been reached on the a-adducin polymorphism (Gly460Trp) and essential hypertension (EH) risk in Chinese. We conducted a meta-analysis in an effort to systematically explore the possible association. Case-control studies in Chinese and English performed with human subjects were identified by searching the MEDLINE, EMBASE, China Biological Medicine Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure platform, Wanfang and VIP databases. The fixed-effects model and the random-effects model for dichotomous outcomes were applied to combine the results of the individual studies. We selected 20 studies that met the inclusion criteria, including a total of 5562 patients with hypertension and 4289 controls. Overall, our findings supported the hypothesis that the ADD1 Gly460Trp polymorphism is associated with EH in the Chinese population. A borderline association was found between the tryptophan (Trp) allele of the Gly460Trp variant and hypertension (P¼0.05, Odds ratio (OR)¼1.08, 95% confidence interval (CI)¼1.00–1.17 and Pheterogeneity¼0.02). Significantly increased risk was observed in the recessive genetic model (P¼0.0009, OR¼1.24, 95% CI¼1.09–1.41 and Pheterogeneity¼0.04) as well as in the homozygote comparison (P¼0.006, OR¼1.25, 95% CI¼1.07–1.46 and Pheterogeneity¼0.03).

  • Domestic Politics and Cross-Strait Relation
    Domestic Politics and Cross-Strait Relation: A Synthetic Perspective 60th Annual Conference of the American Association for Chinese Studies University of Maryland | 5-7 October 2018 Yu-Shan Wu | Academia Sinica [email protected] With the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) elected to power in 2016 the Taiwan Strait has again become a flashpoint for potential military conflict. The DPP’s refusal to recognize the “one China principle” embodied in the “1992 consensus” despite repeated warnings by the heavyweights of the Chinese Communist leadership and the election of Donald Trump into the White House with his stern anti-China rhetoric and policies radically changed the parameters of cross-Strait relation. The prospect of war in the Strait increases significantly. But is a war really possible? For this we need to take stock of the literature on cross-Strait relation (CSR). Literature and Findings The literature on cross-Strait relation has proliferated over the years.1 Three dimensions of investigation are prominent: cross-Strait interaction, domestic politics, and international environment (see Figure 1). Under the rubric of cross-Strait interaction one finds divided-nation model (with the two Germanys and two Koreas as major examples)2, integration theory (European Union is the most relevant contemporary 1 Three edited volumes specifically address the theoretical development in cross-Strait studies: Tzong-Ho Bau and Yu-Shan Wu, Eds., Zhengbian Zhong De Liang’an Guanxi Lilun (Contending Theories in the Study of Cross-Strait Relations) (Taipei: Wu-nan, 1999); Tzong-Ho Bau and Yu-Shan Wu, Eds., Chongxin Jianshi Zhengbian Zhong De Liang’an Guanxi Lilun (Revisiting Theories on Cross-Strait Relations) (Taipei: Wu-nan, 2009); Tun-jen Cheng, Chi Huang, and Samuel S.G.

  • Macau Or Macao? – a Case Study in the Fluidity of How Languages Interact in Macau SAR
    Macau or Macao? – A case study in the fluidity of how languages interact in Macau SAR John Wheeler Macao Polytechnic Institute, Macau Abstract Macau is a small Special Autonomous Region (SAR) of China, located on the Pearl River Delta, adjacent to Hong Kong. Unlike Hong Kong, its colonial heritage is Portuguese, rather than British. Macau’s official languages are Portuguese and Standard Chinese and the most widely spoken local language is Cantonese. With the influx of gaming finance into the city, English has also come to a role of increasing prominence. There are also substantial number of Filipinos working in the city who speak Tagalog as a first language in many cases. As a small state with a highly fluid linguistic situation, Macau can provide insights into how languages rise and fall in use and status. Macau can also be a useful tool for re-evaluating such concepts as linguistic imperialism and the concentric circles model of World Englishes. As well as evaluating the existing literature, this paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey into language attitudes amongst students at Macau Polytechnic Institute. The results reveal that students attach a higher status to English than Portuguese, despite the latter being the former colonial and current official language. Evidence, however, indicates that Portuguese is likely to continue to be important as a distinguishing feature of Macau SAR. Keywords: Macau, World Englishes, Portuguese, Chinese Introduction – the Macau context This paper describes the existing language situation in Macau in the light of some of the existing debates within World Englishes. It will examine where, and if Macau fits into Kachru’s (1985) concentric circles model and discuss Macau’s possible connection with notions of linguistic imperialism.

Learning Culture of Mainland Chinese: In Pursuit of Western-Based Business Education Away from Mainland China Kumaran Rajaram Nanyang Technological University The mainland Chinese learning culture has evolved due to the rapid changes in the economic, political, cultural and demographic demands. The changing characteristics of the Chinese students’ learning behavioral styles and preferences, as well as the challenges faced in pursuit of Western- based education, are discussed with suggested recommendations to address these issues. The similarities and differences between Western-based and Chinese education over the decades and at the present are reviewed to enable educators to appreciate a deeper understanding, hence enabling effective facilitation and engagement of students. This enables the usage of a suitable mixture of instructional approaches to facilitate optimal learning process for the students by understanding the learning styles, preferences, and behavioral issues of mainland Chinese students. Due to rapid increases in the numbers of mainland education (Baron & Strout-Dapaz, 2001; Rajaram & Chinese students studying in Anglophone countries Bordia, 2011). “The primary difficulty arises from the such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and the variance in the second language abilities of students United Kingdom, the Chinese learner has become a key which may immediately place international students at recent focus for Western studies in education (Clarke & a disadvantage” (Atkins & Ashcroft, 2004, p. 41).

  • A Rising China Affects Ethnic Identities in Southeast Asia
    ISSUE: 2021 No. 74 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 3 June 2021 A Rising China Affects Ethnic Identities in Southeast Asia Leo Suryadinata* In this picture, festive lights are reflected on a car in Chinatown on the first day of the Lunar New Year in Bangkok on February 12, 2021. Ethnic Chinese in Thailand are considered the most assimilated in Southeast Asia, and it has been argued that Buddhism is a key factor in this process. Photo: Mladen ANTONOV, AFP. * Leo Suryadinata is Visiting Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, and Professor (Adj.) at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at NTU. He was formerly Director of the Chinese Heritage Centre, NTU. 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 74 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • From Zhou Enlai to Deng Xiaoping, Beijing’s policy towards Chinese overseas was luodi shenggen (to take local roots), which encouraged them to take local citizenship and integrate themselves into local society. • In the 21st century, following the rise of China, this policy changed with a new wave of xinyimin (new migrants). Beijing advocated a policy of luoye guigen (return to original roots), thus blurring the distinction between huaqiao (Chinese nationals overseas) and huaren (foreign nationals of Chinese descent), and urging Chinese overseas regardless of citizenship to be oriented towards China and to serve Beijing’s interest. • China began calling huaqiao and huaren, especially people in business, to help China support the Beijing Olympics and BRI, and to return and develop closer links with China. • Responses from ethnic Chinese in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand have been muted, as they are localised and are participating in local politics.

  • Mapping the Cultural Identities of Youths in Hong Kong from a Social Capital Perspective
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Mapping the Cultural Identities of Youths in Hong Kong from a Social Capital Perspective Qiaobing Wu 1,* , Ying Ou 1 and Lucy P. Jordan 2 1 Department of Applied Social Sciences, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China; [email protected] 2 Department of Social Work and Social Administration, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 October 2020; Accepted: 10 November 2020; Published: 12 November 2020 Abstract: With its unique geopolitical status and multicultural setting, Hong Kong has harbored different youth groups generated from cross-border migration with mainland China who are tied to different cultural values and identifications. This study aims to investigate how social capital embedded in the family, school, and community influences the cultural identities across three groups of Chinese youths in the educational system: local students; cross-border students (born in Hong Kong, living in the neighbor city of mainland China but attending schools in Hong Kong on daily commute); and new immigrant students (born in mainland China but living in Hong Kong for less than seven years). Using data from a cross-sectional survey with 2180 fourth- to ninth-grade students in Hong Kong, the logistic regression results suggest that family and community social capital play significant roles in shaping the cultural identity of youths. Implications of the research findings are discussed. Keywords: cultural identity; social capital; cross-border students; new immigrant students; Hong Kong 1. Introduction The anti-extradition bill protest in 2019 has brought the young generation of Hong Kong to the eyes of the world through daily headlines in the media.

  • The Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War, 1945–49
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:24 09 May 2016 The Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War, 1945–49 This book examines the Third Chinese Revolutionary Civil War of 1945–49, which resulted in the victory of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over Chiang Kaishek and the Guomindang (GMD) and the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. It provides a military and strategic history of how the CCP waged and ultimately won the war, the transformation of its armed forces, and how the Communist leaders interacted with each other. Whereas most explanations of the CCP’s eventual victory focus on the Sino- Japanese War of 1937–45, when the revolution was supposedly won as a result of the Communists’ invention of “peasant nationalism,” this book shows that the outcome of the revolution was not a foregone conclusion in 1945. It explains how the eventual victory of the Communists resulted from important strategic decisions taken on both sides, in particular the remarkable transformation of the Communist army from an insurgent / guerrilla force into a conventional army. The book also explores how the hierarchy of the People’s Republic of China developed during the war. It shows how Mao’s power was based as much on his military acumen as his political thought, above all his role in formulating and implementing a successful military strategy in the war of 1945–49. It also describes how other important figures, such as Lin Biao, Deng Xiaoping, Nie Rongzhen, Liu Shaoqi, and Chen Yi, made their reputations during the conflict, and reveals the inner workings of the First generation political-military elite of the PRC.

  • Mainland China and Taiwan-We Should Stand with a Friend It Is
    Mainland China and Taiwan-We Should Stand With a Friend It is becoming more and more ap­ parent that the major impediment to normalization of United States rela­ tions with the People's Republic of China is the status of the government on Taiwan-which still calls itself the Republic of China. When the government of the late Chiang Kai-shek was ejected from the ·Chinese mainland in the late 1940's it set up shop on Taiwan, a poverty­ ridden island liberated from the Jap­ anese and turned over to China after World War II. The native Taiwanese had seen many foreign administrations and the displaced Chinese were not very popular. All this changed over the years, however, as hard-work and an imaginative economic program created an Asian industrial giant to replace a tattered agricultural weakling. Through the bad years of confrontation between the United States and Communist China the old Generalissimo-Chiang-and his successors provided unwavering friendship. Today, Taiwan is a major Asian trading partner of the United States and the relationshio between the two nations has lost the purely political overtones that marked the years of confrontation. Now the United States is anxious to have better relations with the mainland Chinese. The communist regime, in turn, is anxious to gain control of Tai­ wan. There is growing fear on the part of the people on Taiwan that the United States will offer them up as bait for full diplomatic relations with mainland China. The Taiwan Chinese look with foreboding at the on-going efforts by the Carter administration to improve Latin American relations by relinquishing control over the Panama Canal and just before he left for his questionably successful trip to China Secretary of State Cyrus Vance said in a speech, ".
