In your recent blog on Mandarin, you discussed Australia's moves to teach Mandarin. You are probably aware our squeaky new Prime Minister speaks fluent Mandarin.

Your article did not allow me to link this post to it.

China is becoming a the next business frontier. Knowing Chinese is going to be of great benefit in the business world. Finding teachers is the problem.

It's funny. I was reading one of the reasons for the advancement of China was their notorious baby policy...that helped reduce national expenditure...and environmental damage???

"Finding teachers is the problem."

Do you mean you have plenty of wannabee students?

The US would like to teach more Chinese but can't find the teachers. My comment has nothing to do with China and the damage it is doing to the environment or birth policies. Friends visited China about 6 months ago and said they could hardly breath the air it was so polluted.
