| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Linguistic policy, which includes not only a domestic, but also a foreign component, was revived in China after a long interval only at the beginning of this century. Since 2004, the official Chinese language Putonghua (based on the Beijing dialect of Mandarin) and traditional Chinese culture have been popularized all over the world as soft power. In 2013, a new stage began of using linguistics to solve tasks of foreign policy. It was prompted by the emergence of Xi Jinping's One Belt, One Road strategy and envisaged the active study of the languages of countries surrounding China, along with the cross-border languages of the PRC peoples.
