Economic globalization has become an irresistible trend nowadays, inevitably leading to cultural globalization. China steadily gains strength as a world superpower, and it was estimated that in 2008 China would absorb foreign investments worth at least $80 billion. Being a major destination for foreign investments, China will long maintain attractiveness for foreign business. Simultaneously, an increasing number of Chinese enterprises turn their attention to overseas investment. With so much hope to benefit from this “Chinese opportunity”, all the evidence indicates a rise in demand for people with a good command of Chinese language and a deep understanding of Chinese culture. In addition, more than one fifth of the world’s population currently uses Chinese. As one of the six official languages used by the United Nations, the Chinese language exerts a far-reaching influence on cultural, economic, political, technological, literary, and military affairs.Choosing TLI allows you the greatest confidence and prospects for the future.
