Actually, this guy is the worst ambassador from United States China. He not only didn’t build the bridge between the people of two country but he did just opposite try to make make trouble spread disturbance and still spread the lie to the outside world

This ambassador seems to prefer dividing than improving relationship between the two countries. Considering China as threat and systematic revalvry is the wrong starting point where come out all the difficulties and no need to blame China. Hope one day we can have a wiser leader in US who can consider China as a partner.

27:30 Imho, there is no correlation between learning Mandarin Chinese (for common conversation or non-sensitive issue) and an individual's safety... Afterall, isn't it the pride of Mandarin Chinese itself ?! I mean if many foreigners learn the language (instead of learning other foreign languages) 🎉😊

Pride of Chinese isn't why Mark is says students study chinese. Mark says students go because China is a world leader in economics and politics, and companies used to want to hire the talent of people who learned there. But he and the ambassador agree that there will be less business between China and other countries if hostilities increase, so students are right to worry. It's the safety of a job, not physical safety.

@@micahgetz872 Indeed, the speaker did not mention that the pride or prestige of learning Mandarin Chinese have caused many American students learning that language. Its from the other way around to see the phenomena (i.e. that more and more foreign students learning Mandarin Chinese), and its a rhetorical one. Of course, learning that language is due to practical consideration in economic or work-related activities (for example). My comment is that they (i.e. the students) do not need to worry to learn the language in China or in backhome then. The speaker's comment in 27:30 leads to an analogy of "an apple and an orange", its just no correlation between them (i.e. between learning the language for common conversation and their personal safety), dont be mislead 😁 Job safety is the student's safety backhome, right?! Hostilities increase?!

@@adindahutabarat_sinolog I don't know anyone who learned Chinese out of the pride of knowing it, always it was the utility- to meet the expectations of family, to be able to interact with Chinese culture, or to work with one of the world's rising powers. I agree, the speaker didn't discuss Chinese in terms of the first two. But I think the speaker was right that if hostilities increase (trade and tourism diminish) that fewer people internationally will see the utility of learning Chinese.
