This paper examines the development of mul-ticultural curriculum in Hong Kong and Taiwan over thelast two few decades. Though both societies are broadlyChinese cultural contexts, differences in their politicalhistories, cultures, and demographics nonetheless reflectdisparate approaches to the development of multicultural-ism in curriculum content. At the same time, Hong Kongand Taiwan both face tensions today related to competingpriorities for cultivating local, national, and global sensesof identity and civic participation. The paper concludeswith recommendations for the further unfolding of multi-cultural curriculum in these societies in light of their localdiversity issues, and with brief reflection on the potential ofthese findings to enrich traditional framings of multicul-tural education coming from western societies
