Have you started learning Chinese yet?

Question

China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt. The U.S. debt is mounting and the dollar is dropping to never-before seen levels.
The U.S. manufacturing sector is suffering from increased globalization and the moving of production overseas (All things encouraged by the corporate elites and the politicians who serve them).
So have you started learning Chinese yet, so that you may properly greet our new overlords?

Answer 1

You know what I don't get about the push of American labor to china. Conservatives claim that organized labor, which they view as socialistic and anti-American, is driving the cost of labor in America too high for American business to compete globally. They seem to justify sending labor overseas because orgainzed labor in America is communistic.
They find no problem, however, in sending American jobs to a communistic country, China. So why is it okay to provide jobs for communistic workers in a foreign country and not for the so called American communistic workers?
I don't get that logic.
Even if organized labor in America were communistic, these American workers spend their money here inside our own economy.

Answer 2

yes, i have started leaning Chinese cuz i believed that in the near future china will be the world n not U.S any more.
I wake up one day morning and look around all the goods that am have and 80% of the goods was made in China 5% made in U.s and 15% made in the E.U coutries.
then i started my research about China. I spend my holidays this year in Italy all i would say is that most goods in Italy are made by China, Stores, hostlers and so for owen by Chinese.
They are the most populated, agian moving around the world investing in Bussiness, taking adventages of the developing Countries.

Answer 3

Good point. I find it ironic that the U.S. Government spends hundreds of billions on a war yet argues about a couple of million domestically. I guess this is an example of penny wise and dollar foolish.

I wish I could translate that in Chinese.

Answer 4

I'm trying. And failing miserably.

But I doubt the Chinese will become our new "overlords" any time soon-- their economy isn't that great to begin with. And right now, I think we're a bit preoccupied with North Korea and the Middle East.

Answer 5

Yeah. They said the same thing about the Japanese in the 80s. Heard this song before. It's called globalization and trade. The US always seems to get the short end of the stick on it though.
By the by, I think it would be cool to learn chinese, but I don't have the time. Too busy on YA! Heh heh

Answer 6

which you need to to income Mandarin chinese language. it is the main language used in China's larger towns (e.g. Shanghai, Beijing) and is extensively utilized in Taiwan and Singapore. once you're extra involved contained in the Hong Kong-Macau area, then you certainly could %. up Cantonese. it is the language used in Hong Kong and Macau. for my area, i might advise you to income Mandarin, as Cantonese is a chinese language dialect and may be picked up later, once you have mastered the pronunciation and intonation of Mandarin. Mandarin may be much less complicated (it has 4 intonations; Cantonese has six) to income in case you have not spoken it or taken it up earlier. aside from chinese language languages, which you need to to objective studying the two eastern or Korean. those languages share particular residences and vocabulary with chinese language, yet are languages on their own. it extremely is only my take on the difficulty; you're completely loose to make your guy or woman determination. yet once you opt for help with chinese language, you may constantly upload me. wish I helped. :)

Wait a minute. Didn't we just go through this with our Japanese overlords in the 1980's? Don't tell me it is time to start beating that drum again.

Besides, I am too busy learning our new national language, Spanish.
