Zhang Shiping Quotations

Mandarin has to be used as the main language, especially at school.

Getting to the stage where over half of the people can speak Mandarin is still a key success.

With improved transport, and with so many people moving around the country like never before, it is vital people are able to communicate with each other.

I understand why people feel strongly about their own dialects. We are not trying to stop people from speaking them at home or among friends.
