<p>Before I could begin reading the MCLC item on this interesting topic, I was brought up short by a phrase in the heading, <em>in the run-up to the country’s 1949 reunification</em>. Is <i>reunification</i> now the word to passively accept as we read? Incidentally, what is the Chinese for this?</p>
<p>A long time ago, this word was <i>Liberation</i>, was it not? used without cavil by nearly all in the English language. More recently, it has been 新中國<i>, </i>not yet, as far as I know, adopted into English usage. <i>Reunification </i>is new to me. Perhaps listserve readers have information.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Earlier this week, MCLC posted an item from <i>South China Morning Post</i> that pointed out a change in textbook usage regarding a historic and historical date in Hong Kong history - from <i>handover</i> <i>of sovereignty </i>via <i>taking back</i> to the plain erasure of using the date alone, <i>since July 1, 1997. </i>It is easy to feel pessimistic about the usefulness of writing alone, but perhaps there can be at least such a piece of writing about changing nomenclature since 1949.</span></p>
