In this commentary, I will discuss how to achieve the Chinese academic subjectivity at both individual and collective levels in following three points. (1) Long-term debate on a specific issue between scholars from different cultures would pave the way for mutual understanding, but still not sufficient for intersubjective understanding. (2) Persistent self-reflection of researchers from any culture on their own knowledge acquisition and production contributes to their intersubjective understanding and sharing of each other's perspectives and academic achievements. (3) However, when the issue shifts from the cross-cultural subjectivity of individual scholars to their corresponding research communities, the problem would be more complicated. Some structural or institution al reforms within the specific discipline (such as the reforms of national academic evaluation and reward system) might link to the cross-cultural subjectivities of academic communities more directly, rather than only arousing scholars ' personal consciousness of cultural subjectivity.
