The London mayor Boris Johnson visited China in the past few days and expressed that the British children should study Mandarin at school. And he also said, “The Children will know the important of China when they grow up. British should understand the China as much as possible, because the China’s influence is growing gradually.” Johnson revealed “I am studying Chinese now, and I love China very much, China is the wonderful place. The more you understand Chinese Culture, the more you will appreciate.”

It is interesting that Boris Johnson published an article in 2005, he said in the article “Compared with the UK and the USA, Chinese culture don’t have any influence to the world. There is no need for Children to study Chinese.” But now, he admitted he was wrong. The mayor’s concept got great changes during 8 years.

As we know, the development of economic and the political status determine the cultural status. These years, China becomes more and more important on the world arena. The TIME declared “If you want to go ahead of others, please study Chinese.”

It can’t be denied that some foreigners study Chinese because the development of China’s economic brings them plenty of business opportunities. Chinese becomes the tools of profit-making and employment. Whatever, it is an indisputable fact that “Mandarin Fever” has spread over the whole world. China owns 5-thousand-year history and culture and Chinese ideograph has strong vitality.
