摘　　要：The Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)is to construct a large unified market,to make full use of both international and domestic markets,and to enhance the mutual understanding and trust of member nations of Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN)through cultural exchange,people-to-people ties and integration.Geographically adjacent to ASEAN countries and is close to India and Bangladesh in South Asia,Thailand and Cambodia in Southeast Asia,Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region of China is a key littoral or southern gateway for China’s BRI.Foreign language planning is an essential element for the social development of a country economically and culturally.By reviewing the implementation of the foreign language policy in Guangxi,I analyzed the multilingual opportunities and linguistic challenges in the region,which shares the cross-border languages with its neighboring countries in the multi-ethnic and multi-lingual community,to reveal the sociological meaning of the foreign language policy beyond its linguistic meaning,and propose an English-plus multilingual policy approach toward the ASEAN countries to meet the current needs of communications associated with the BRI.
