This article attempts to address the issues concerning Chinese language overseas spread from a theoretic perspective. An idealized or successful Chinese international communication ought to be taken as production and reproduction of a communicative process text, which has a complex set of meaningful layers rather than a linear mode of speech. Each textual production and reproduction is regulated or even controlled largely by its immanent consistency, coherency and unity. However, a variety of deconstructive factors can pose a threat to the formation of this consistent, coherent and unitary text of communicative process, to the extent that it may lead to an unsuccessful communication. Nonetheless, such inconsistency and incoherency of communicative text are by no means meaningless or negative. Although these deconstructive forces are barriers to a mutual understanding and for consensus to be reached between participants of a dialogue, they are bound to be necessary for overcoming the barriers, and to stimulate an urge to converse across cultures and communities. This cross-cultural communicative situation therefore has a special signifi cance different from what one may appreciate in a mother tongue setting. Carriers of Chinese as a mother tongue may face toughest barriers and lowest agreement in communicating with an alien partner, but also a tensest and most astonishing communication, which is likely to be transformed into a meaningful and attractive communication.
