With the deepening and expansion of globalization, due to the constraints from the history of colony, the continuing of wars, the spread of internet, and the lack of a unified regulatory agency, the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) Language is facing an ongoing crisis of language loss by the influence of various local dialects and foreign languages. Therefore, the crisis of current MSA Language is characterized by multilingual coexistence and prevalence of local dialects. The issue also leads to the crisis of Arab national identity as well as the conflicts of reform between the New and the Old classes. In this regard, some Arab elites proposed various solutions, including proposing initiatives for the reactivation of MSA politically; facilitating the Arab teenagers to improve the MSA language capabilities through formal education; providing 16 ideological measures. By analyzing the MSA crisis, this paper provides three suggestions on the promotion of the Chinese language: adapting to Arab Islamic culture and integrating into the Arab context; promoting Chinese in the Arab international academic communication; developing online Chinese courses by multimedia applications.
