Abstract
This manuscript delves into the complexities of imagined hua-châiao identity and its interplay with the Taiwanese education policies for overseas Chinese in Malaysia from the 1990s to the 2000s. By examining the shift in Taiwanâs stance toward Chinese in diaspora, the study underscores the devolution of hua-châiao education within the broader context of Taiwanâs quest for a distinct national identity from China. We explore the historical underpinnings and the ideological shifts that informed the policies under the Kuomintang (kmt) and the Democratic Progressive Party (dpp), highlighting the contentious debate over âChinesenessâ and its implications for overseas Chinese communities. By tracing the changes in educational policy, the study reflects on the broader questions of identity, nationalism, and the politics of belonging in the era of globalization. It raises critical inquiries about Taiwanâs engagement with overseas Chinese communities and the conceptual challenges of defining âChinesenessâ since the twenty-first century.
