China is the world\u2019s second largest economy, and one of every five people in the world speaks the Chinese language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As China has become a big player in the world economy, Chinese language skills are in demand like never before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who become proficient in Chinese language can expect to hold an advantage in many job markets. According to Bloomberg, Mandarin Chinese is the most useful business language after English. While this may come as no surprise, many do not realize that China\u2019s economic rise has also brought about new challenges and expectations for other forms of modernization. China will soon require diverse expertise to help create and implement new sociopolitical, environmental, and infrastructure systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
