Historically, they do not belong to that group of countries which were colonized by members of the inner circle, and English doesn't have any special intranational status or function. They constitute the context in which English is taught as a 'foreign' language as the most useful vehicle of international communication. These are 'norm-dependent' varieties, and are essentially exonormative in Kachru's terms.

In the current study, Chinese culture will be set as the fourth type of culture as native culture.
