This paper fully reviews Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education which is the latest comprehensive standards formulated by China to describe and evaluate the Chinese proficiency of foreign learners. After introducing and analyzing its motivations for formulation, core content, key features, innovations and significance, this paper outlines some important subsequent work worth doing related to its promotion and applications, like developing corresponding curriculum standards and textbooks, compiling a new dictionary based on “three levels and nine bands” and “four-dimension benchmarks”, developing a new version of Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) and a new type of HSK Speaking Test (HSKK).
