Why do you think learning Mandarin/Cantonese at school is a negative? Asian schools have been teaching English for decades, and with that language skill they have conquered many countries in the professional and export arena.
Many Chinese exports to English speaking countries are lablled in English, with English instructions, promotions, etc. When are we going to export our produce and products to Chinese speaking countries with Chinese writing?
Only Kevin Rudd speaks Mandarin fluently from the government, but there are many folds more Chinese from her government speak English.
If we don't take this opportunity, we will miss the boat (to China)!
