Chinese China is a multi-national country featuring unbalanced economic development. In the vast territory different languages and various dialects are used. Even though the government has called for the popularization of Mandarin as the standard Chinese language for decades, it has not become the daily-use communication tool among a considerable number of people. This obviously hinders economic development and social progress. Undoubtedly, the popularization and promotion of Mandarin is vital to speeding up China's reform and opening up drive.
