In the beginning of a new century, a brand new Chinese Language curriculum guide and referencing criteria have been implemented in Hong Kong and Shanghai respectively. This study aims to compare and contrast the junior secondary Chinese Language curriculum in these two regions. In the meantime, this study tries to shed light on its future development and provide insights for the education policy makers. Based on the disciplines and curriculum theories, variations are found upon different areas including standards setting, curriculum structure, nature of disciplines, directions and learning objectives; organization, selection and compilation of teaching materials; teaching principles, elements and requirements; and the assessment aims, function, forms and methods.
