Will Chinese become global language Why
What’s your conclusion
Who owns Chinese
Chinese is spoken by nearly 1.3 billion people in China. It is also spoken by hundreds of millions of overseas Chinese around the world.
Nowadays you can see many Chinese restaurants in the world. The popularity of Chinese food makes people want to learn Chinese so that they can have a better understanding of Chinese culture. Additionally, Chinese also borrows plenty of words from other languages.
As China continues to grow, Chinese will become as common as English by the middle of the twenty-first century. This is mainly because people around the world would like to do business with us. Also more and more schools in the foreign country are teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
So who owns Chinese It belongs to everyone who speaks it. And it makes the language more and more popular.
