The Number of Overseas Chinese Learners Increases

The above chart illustrates that more and more foreigners are learning Chinese in recent years. In 2001,there were 5 million Chinese Learners all over the world; then the figure grew continually and soared to 40 million in 2013,8 times as large as the number of 12 years ago.

There are three main reasons contributing to the Chinese learning fever. Firstly, with the deepening of China's reform and opening-up,more foreigners would like to invest in China, do business with Chinese people and travel around China. And these can be done better by communication in Chinese. In addition, Chinese traditional culture is generally accepted by the world in the post-industrial age. Learning Chinese is an indispensable way to have a better understanding of Chinese distinct culture and long history. What's more, China's robust development of economy also attracts more and more foreigners to China in anticipation of landing a job.

In my opinion,it is a natural phenomenon for people to learn another language with the aim of deepening international understanding. It can be predicted that with the continuous development of China, the Chinese learning fever will keep booming.
