This chapter explores 'self-projection' by analysing the responses of Chinese education officials to Shanghai's success in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). It is argued that the self-image projected is both positive and negative, with attention paid not only to Shanghai's impressive performance in PISA but also to its weaknesses, particularly the long hours put in by Shanghai students on doing homework. Drawing upon relevant features of Kleinian psychoanalysis, particularly of introjection and projection, and using a combination of document analysis alongside interview data with key policy-makers in Shanghai, this chapter further argues how Chinese officials attempt to construct an imagined identity that centres on 'quality-oriented education' (suzhi jiaoyu). Self-projection in Shanghai is designed to support assessment reform in Shanghai as part of reducing schoolwork burden and achieving holistic education. The experience of Shanghai demonstrates that self-projection is less about a society's actual performance in international assessments and more about domestic educational discourses.

This chapter will look at the academic responses to China’s PISA performance as articulated in Chinese academic journals and educational newspapers. These responses belong largely to four different types: (i) Learning from PISA and its implications for assessing educational quality; (ii) establishing China as an educational role model; (iii) contrasting the Chinese system’s exam-efficiency with individual or social welfare; and (iv) questioning the positive correlation of educational assessments with educational quality. An ensuing section will then discuss the potential motives and agendas behind the Chinese embrace or, alternatively, rejection of PISA. The conclusion will relate these perceptions and projections to the wider transnational, hegemonic educational policy regimes that permeate the implementation of, and conclusions drawn from, PISA.
