However, this may not just be specific to Lining company. China has tighten its monetary policy recently and the consequent is always a weakening of stock market and other assets such as property.News about Li Ning's company, seems not doing well ...

Now, i know maybe the emphasis isn't there. In my humble opinion, tang shi, song ci is ok but there must be some analytical appreciation so that one will learn more.WeiHan:

That is a lot of emphasis on Chinese ! Juz to share, my colleague graduated fr rv many yrs ago . She said she had a hard time doing Chinese and now, she hardly uses the language , she said she would not want her girl to go thru the same thing. Instead she wants her girl to be Gd in English

Oh no..you will be at the opposite side of the pendulum. It is now that the centre of power is starting to shift to the east. You see America and England are in a mess. The mess stems from something more fundamental. Fundamentally wrong. This is then coupled with fast arising chinese.
Chinese is really becoming more and more useful. You can even make money without knowing any English nowaday. and speaking an ascent English may not be considered cool in some not too distant future. You can't even make enough money with that so how can it be cool? I understand it is true in the last 100-200 years but we are at the juncture of history of change now. -

yup...u r very right. china and maybe even india r going to be a major world economic power in the near future. chinese language may become the most frequently used language. the chinese r smart. they sent language teachers to many western countries to teach for free. many westerners r learning chinese in order to tap into the vast china market. big business opportunities there as china is opening up to the world.

u will be surprised at the spending power of the chinese nowadays. an ex-colleague just told me her experience in milan. within minutes of opening, almost everything on the shelves of the chanel boutique r cleared by a group of chinese tourists! she was shocked!
in the latest PISA report, shanghai kids r the best educated in the world. if we dont buck up...we r gonna lose out. just look at those prc scholars, they just need 1-2 years to brush up their english n they will outshine the locals. imagine just 1% of their population r able to do that....we r going to lose our competitive edge very very soon. -
