[quote=GRIZ326,228739]As China opens up and becomes part of the world economy, will China eventually speak English? Or will the world learn to speak Chinese?

This question is posed because eventually a unified world will require a common language. Right? It could easily become argumentative, but that is not the intent. The intent is a query of how you think the future will evolve....

I ask question because in my opinion, China will soon become the dominant economy. Every corporation will need to be able to conduct business with China...and China will easily need to do business with other countries with diverse languages. Clearly, China makes an effort to teach English language that appears to be more focused and dedicated than the language programs in English speaking countries........

China wasn't really on the "global radar" until recently and before you know it (already happening), China will challenge the technological advancements of the former Soviet Union and the United States. Unlike the US vs USSR times, Chinese advancements do not generally carry the implications of the "cold war" times.

So how do you think this will pan out over the next 10 to 20 years. ...put on your futurists hat and tell me what you think.[/quote]
