Some netizens believe that many countries choose to learn Chinese as a common foreign language, which fully demonstrates the current improvement of China's influence; Some netizens think that they were tortured by foreign languages when they were young, and now foreigners are also tortured by foreign languages like Chinese. The author believes that more than 60 countries have brought Chinese teaching into the national education system, which actually reflects the multiple problems behind it.
1. Politics: China's international influence is increasing. In fact, English has become the most commonly used language in the world because of the promotion of Britain during the imperial period and the cultural export of the United States after World War II. But in the final analysis, all this lies in the political influence of Britain and the United States. At present, with the development of China's reform and opening up for more than 40 years, China's international influence is increasing day by day. As a permanent member of the United Nations and the leader of many international organizations, China's political influence can be said to be rising steadily. Therefore, under the situation that China has the right to speak internationally, many countries have begun to choose to move closer to China, and Chinese teaching has also been brought into the national education system.
Second, the economic aspect: the attraction of China's economic prosperity. At present, China is the second largest economic country and the largest industrial country in the world. Its economic prosperity has attracted many countries to trade with China. In the process of trade, if you can master the language of this country, it will play a very important role in promoting trade. China itself is a follower of multilateralism, and its trade with China is more conducive to its economic development. Therefore, most countries in the world choose to bring Chinese teaching into their own education system to promote trade with China.
Third, culture: China's soft power is constantly improving. In terms of culture, in fact, cultural export has always been China's weakness. However, with the guidance of cultural forces and China's efforts to build its own soft power in recent years, China's soft power is constantly rising, which can be reflected in the global development of Confucius Institute and China's film and television works, which have been exported overseas and obtained good box office receipts. With the continuous follow-up of China's cultural export, more and more countries choose to incorporate Chinese as a common foreign language into their learning system, which reflects the promotion of China's soft power.
Know yourself and yourself, and you will be invincible. With the continuous development of China, there are always voices in the society that China should reduce the proportion of English learning. In fact, no matter how China develops in the future, it is necessary to have a certain understanding of foreign countries. Closing the country to the outside world will inevitably lead to the collapse of a country.
