[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will never be the language of business?  Are you serious or making a joke?[/quote]

I know.  OP, you realize that Hong Kong and Shanghai are two of the largest business centers of the world, right?  And that China is the single largest (yes, bigger than the US) new business target in the world.  The population is so large and the economy is booming, so that this is the world's largest marketplace, hence so many international companies are looking for a foothold in China.

Right now and for decades to come, those having Mandarin as a fluent language will have a lot more economically profitable opportunities than those without.  There are many, many jobs right now which are open for those who communicate fluently in Mandarin to work in or support business in China.

You are woefully misinformed if you think that Mandarin is a waste or will be a waste for the foreseeable future. [/quote]
Maybe he realizes that China's one child policy has cause a population decline which in 15 years will likely prove disastrous for the Chinese...In 15 years 2/3rd's their citizen will be retired. He is thinking long term, imho, China will not have the labor force for a thriving economy.[/quote]
