Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press” as chinese university press. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewMost valuable as an event-and-institution map that identifies actors, dates and record creators for deeper historical inquiry. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1979, 2010—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1979-08-28. The account is most persuasive where Foreign, Language and Teaching can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as chinese university press. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10932395. VIAF identifies the subject as 305959040. The Library of Congress control number is n83125479. None of the 5 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1979 and 2010.

Critical limits

Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
