Chinese cultural embarrassment

With China’s increasing influence, the intercultural communication between Chinese and foreigners has become more and more frequent. And a lot of people has started learning Chinese. It seems the online Chinese is going rather hot outside China, but what is going on domestically?

In China, people, especially the youth group, tend to neglect the importance of Chinese tuition and its rich culture. They usually pay more attention to foreign language acquisition than mandarin. That’s why a lot of young people are not standard in mandarin speaking. Some can only speak local dialect.

Various factors can account for this situation. For example, a good command of a foreign language may help young people in China get a good job while Chinese skills may be of no significance in one’s job hunting and even their career. As a result, some students may not value Chinese language as English.

Besides, nowadays fewer and fewer universities stimulate Chinese language study in campus, which has caused it to be marginalized. Under this circumstance, Chinese language becomes less and less popular in universities. So, the Chinese should also speed up their steps to learn Chinese language and Chinese culture as foreign Chinese learners do.
