	Taiwanese localization movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Localization or Taiwanization (Chinese: 本土化; pinyin: Běntǔ huà; Pe̍h-oē-jī: pún-thó͘-hòa) is a political term used within Taiwan to emphasize the importance of Taiwan's culture rather than to regard Taiwanese as solely an appendage of China.
		The localization movement has been expressed in forms such as the use of dialect in the broadcast media and entire channels devoted to aboriginal and Hakka affairs.
		On the mainland, the PRC government has officially adopted a relatively neutral policy on Taiwanese localization movement and does not consider the localization movement to be either a violation of its One China Policy or equivalent to the independence movement.

	Lee Teng-hui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lee—one of only four Taiwanese students in his high school class—graduated with honors and was given a scholarship to Japan's Kyoto Imperial University.
		The Taiwanese localization movement has its roots in the home rule groups founded during the Japanese era and sought to put emphasis on Taiwan as the center of people's lives as opposed Mainland China or Japan.
		This is to be put in context with the fact that many Taiwanese citizens nowadays hold a rather positive view of Japan's occupation, as a time that has brought development and progress to the island in spite of the autocratic rule.

		The gist of the New Taiwanese ideology is in fact a concerted effort to diminish the potential conflicts emanating from the differing provincial origins among the Taiwanese residents.
		Although the instrumentalism of the "New Taiwanese" in the election campaigns is obvious, the ultimate goal is to escape the status of "periphery" under the illusion of a "greater China" conceptualization, and to reaffirm Taiwan's identity as the first given priority.
		Local roots may serve as exclusive criteria of political correctness; secondly, policies of promoting economic interaction with mainland China could easily be regarded as pro-Beijing and anti-Taipei.

	Spoken Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In southern China where the difference between Standard Mandarin and the local dialect is particularly pronounced, well-educated Chinese are generally fluent in Standard Mandarin, and most people have at least a good passive knowledge of it, in addition to being native speakers of the local dialect.
		The local dialect (be it nonstandard Mandarin or non-Mandarin altogether) is generally considered more intimate and is used among close family members and friends and in everyday conversation within the local area.
		On the other hand, in the Republic of China on Taiwan, the government had a policy until the mid-1980s of promoting Standard Mandarin as high-status and the local languages—Taiwanese and Hakka—as low-status, a situation which caused much resentment and resulted in considerable backlash in the 1990s, manifested in the Taiwanese localization movement.

	Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan
		Recent campaigning has focused largely on "localization", a devotion to Taiwanese identity, passion for the island and sensitive to issues such as language - Mandarin, Min-nan and Hakka are all recognized as the official languages of Taiwan, however, many candidates refrain from speaking Mandarin, because it is considered foreign and tied to the mainland.
		Localization also means that many candidates distance themselves from anything related to the mainland, seen as by many native Taiwanese as a hostile and irrelevant neighbor, by some as a menacing Big Brother.
		Protecting the interests of the native Taiwanese has in itself, raised debates, such as whether to teach in the native Taiwanese mother tongue, Min-nan and Hakka, as opposed to Chinese Mandarin; some candidates in appealing to the "native" Taiwan vote go out of their way not to speak Mandarin.

	Democratization and Localization in Taiwan
		Briefly, the situation is this: In 1949, the Republic of China government, led by the Nationalist party, retreated to Taiwan as a last stand in the war against the communists.
		With the existence of two groups came two political ideologies- the Taiwanese tend to want a distinct Taiwan, independent from the Mainland, and the Mainlanders want harmonious coexistence if not reintegration with the mainland.
		As a result, there are pushes being made to favor the taiwanese geography and history in schooling and language instead of simply mainland chinese geography and history.

		China's greatest enemy is Taiwanese independence, and, at least in the minds of its leaders, democracy and localization are synonymous with independence.
		But as many local officials in the south have pointed out, the consensus is that the future of Taiwan lies in the hands of the majority of Taiwanese people and there is no market for a "Greater China" ideology.
		Although the Taiwanese people are divided into the green and blue camps during elections, they are actually united when fighting against Chinese hegemony.

		The contemporary response to global changes with the Taiwanese consciousness cannot be adequately explained by the classical account of cultural nationalism, and a new theoretical vocabulary is in demand to comprehend the discourse of localization in Taiwan9.
		The rise of Taiwanese consciousness is the key to understanding Tzu's "Old Capital." You in the novella experiences this historical change in Taiwan, known as "localization," in terms of the transition from the cultural nationalism of Great China to the phenomenon of autochthony in Taiwan.
		In spite of her cultural conservatism, the apocalyptic ending of the novella registers a denial of the local reconstructed in response to globalization as seen in Taipei and an aesthetic rendition of the violence of globalization, which erases history and simultaneously produces prolifically mere images of the local and history.

		The text is situated in two particular contexts: first, the current discourse of localization in Taiwan, in which the development of Taiwanese consciousness is reviewed, and second, the related publishing context is examined.
		That is, a contemporary visual language is adopted in presenting local culture to attract today’s young readers.
		This constructed representation can be seen as a strategy for recalling and reinstalling the local cultures that had been oppressed and missed in the Kuomintang era.

		The editors of this book have had to struggle first with the translation of the term "bentuhua" into English, which could mean "localization" "indigenization" or "Taiwanization." Adopting the correct equivalent in English was difficult for the authors so they used the translation most appropriate to each context.
		"In Taiwan, indigenization has functioned as a type of nationalism that champions the legitimacy of a distinct Taiwanese identity, the character and content of which should be determined by the Taiwanese people," John Makeham says in the introduction to the study of the phenomenon of identity search in the nation of 23 million people.
		Author A-chin Hsiau prefers to call it "indigenization" because he says the term "bentuhua" means that the uniqueness of Taiwanese society, culture and history should be appreciated and interpreted from the viewpoints of the Taiwanese themselves and not from outsiders.

		One is from the perspective of cultural homogeneity vs. heterogeneity, to see how gender meanings and women's differences have been mobilized differently or similarly in the themes of locality and globality in the sampled TV commercials.
		The other direction is from the perspective of cultural hybridity, to see how the global-local nexus, or the re-invention of the local identity are established in these commercials, through the re-organization of the signs of gender, ethnicity, class, the foreign and the local, in which new meanings may be produced.
