China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However,
heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle
Kingdom for centuries. Today, China's take on diversity is too
easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous - as if China was not
legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish
to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in
education, which have often been dominated by 'Western' voices, by
problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu
('ethnic') education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion
to other forms of diversity education (multicultural,
intercultural, transcultural, cross-cultural, global education).
Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and
one-size-fits all recipe, they argue that the lessons learnt from
researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also
help students, researchers, educators, and decision-makers unthink
and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book
introduces the complexity, contradictions and benefits of Minzu
while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary
it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of
the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically
their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it
should be read with the same.

Chinese ethnic minority education is virtually unknown to readers
outside China. Based on extensive qualitative and quantitative
data, this book examines the basic education policies for ethnic
minorities in China and describes policy implementation. It also
discusses successful case studies, restrictive factors, existing
gaps and challenges as well as the associated problems,
highlighting teacher training and the role of policymakers. The
authors propose recommendations to address the challenges faced by
Chinese education, and to develop and implement culturally
sensitive basic education for ethnic minorities in the country.
Offering a rare glimpse inside minority schools in different parts
of the country, the book appeals to educators, scholars,
decision-makers and anyone interested in diversity education
(intercultural, multicultural, global education).
This book demonstrates the concept of ecological system of the
smart ports. The innovation is emphasized as the essence of the
ecological system as well as the prerequisite and foundation of
sustainable development of smart ports. The main supporting
technologies of smart ports, including cyber-physical system,
middle-office system, blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine
vision, AR/VR, system simulation and emulation, digital monitoring
and diagnosis, etc., are introduced with concepts and development
descriptions as well as practical application cases. It could be
used as demonstration and reference for the administrative staff,
engineers and technicians as well as researchers in construction
and operation of smart ports.

This book urges readers to develop a radical capacity to unthink
and rethink interculturality, through multiple, pluri-perspectival
and honest dialogues between the authors, and their students. This
book does not give interculturality a normative scaffolding but
envisages it differently by identifying some of its polyphonic
textures. China's rich engagement with interculturality serves to
support the importance of being curious about other ways of
thinking about the notion beyond the 'West' only. As such, the
issues of culture, identity, language, translation, intercultural
competence and silent transformations (amongst others) are
re-evaluated in a different light. This is a highly informative and
carefully presented book, providing scientific insights for readers
with an interest in interculturality.
This book examines today's central and yet often misunderstood and
misconstrued notion of interculturality. It specifically focuses on
one aspect of intercultural awareness that has been ignored in
research and education: the presence and influence of things on the
way we experience, do, and reflect on interculturality. This book
provides the readers with opportunities to engage with
interculturality by reflecting on how our lives are full of things
and entangled with them. It urges teachers, teacher educators,
scholars, and students to open their eyes to the richness that the
more-than-human, with which we can reflect, has to offer for
intercultural communication education.
This unique book starts from the premise that students, scholars,
and educators should be given access to a form of global education
that is genuinely global. Using the notion of interculturality as
change and exchange as a basis, the authors examine fifty discourse
instruments (e.g. idioms, neologisms, slogans) related to what they
call 'Chinese stories of interculturality'. China, like other
countries, has a rich and complex history of intercultural
encounters and her engagement with the notion today, which shares
similarities and differences with glocal discourses of
interculturality, deserves to be unpacked and familiarized with. By
so doing, digging into the intricacies of the Chinese and English
languages, the reader is empowered to unthink, rethink and
especially reflect on their own take on the important notion of
interculturality.
