Keep the dialects to the coffee shops, street markets, etc. , but not on TV or the radio.Another very important reason why only putonghua, and no dialects, should be allowed on air, is that it is the onlyl

29、anguage that most foreigners have learned before or after arriving in China, and this is the only language that canbridge the communication gap between them and the locals. Imagine how problematic it would be for a foreignertravelling through China; he has to learn each of those local dialects as he

30、 travels to different provinces, if putonghua isnot used widely there! And by the way, this problem is not limited to foreigners only, even the Chinese face the sameproblem.
