Abstract :
The author examines the current status and future direction of technical communication in the People´s Republic of China. First, he describes the limited degree to which technical communication is now incorporated into university curricula. Second, he suggests that increased China/US business associations will require more emphasis on the teaching of technical communication in China. Third, he describes the approach he took to teaching a technical communication short course at North China University of Technology in spring 1988
