Most people have been hearing about China’s rise over the past few years with all the hundreds of books written on China and the Beijing Olympics bonanza. However, with all the uncertainty in the world economy today, many people are skeptical of China’s continued development.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is to realize the changes that are taking place in the world. You can’t go wrong with learning Mandarin Chinese. I just wanted to share these thoughts with you after I saw this video today.
