Huanyu Liu

Abstract


China’s emergency language service has undergone significant development and continuously being enhanced since 2020. This paper examines the concept and development of China’s emergency language service from the standpoint of China’s emergency management system construction, using the National Emergency Language Service Corps of China as a case study and comparing it to the development of emergency language services in other countries. The study discovers flaws in China’s emergency language services, such as ineffective institutional mechanisms, low productization, and a lack of talent.
