its right for the school to enforce mandarin in class...its wrong to force students to speak mandarin when not in class and have peers to rat out the ones that speak cantonese when you live in a province that speaks cantonese
well said the host... Cantonese should be parallel with Mandarin... so I always against Taiwan's way back in Ar Bien's time, pushing 閩南語 so hard to let their ppl lost Mandarin, their motive is terrible

We should have the ability to understand their purpose of encouraging (or "enforce") student to speak mandarin when they are at school, and also criticize the way they enforce it. But it is stupid to make it a conspiracy.
It is not just in Canton, schools in other provinces and regions have been doing the similar thing as well for years. Will you agree with what Lik and King Kong said that the government purposely tries to eliminate all languages in China but mandarin?
yes thts true and tht wht i think or i perceive from the article he posted
but regarding the law and stuff...like u said..its a consipiracy..so how will just read it or discuss it like it is...it may be true or it may not...who knows...since u know how open china is sometimes on a lot of stuff...but the public image the mainland created over the past from a "foreigner" point of view certainly didnt help it

Conspiracies would be more acceptive to people who do not have the knowledge of the situation or someone has a twisted mind like Lik who only accepts things and information that fit his own biases.
Lik took Shanghai as an example. But he does not have the gut to tell us whether he has been to Shanghai and how many schools force students to speak mandarin. He might feel sorry to discover that some schools actually begin to encourage students to speak English.
Now, should we have another conspiracy – the Chinese government is trying to sell the country off to western world?
