Abstract
ABSTRACTLanguage is a vital part of an individual’s cultural identity. Language education policy is also an important part of a country’s national identity construction. This qualitative historical study situates the discussion of China’s foreign language education in the broader socio-historical context of national identity negotiation. The Chinese history of English education over a span of two centuries is critically reviewed as a case study to show the dynamic relationship between national identity and foreign language policy. Foreign language policy has been used as a tool in China to construct a desired national identity in different historical and geopolitical contexts of nation development and international relations. The Chinese case also serves to show the correlation between an open liberal foreign language policy and the achievement of national prosperity.KEYWORDS: English educationChinanational identityforeign language policyhistory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
