China’s tremendous economic growth has been the subject of widespread media attention.

Purchase Download
What would it take to have five percent of American high school students learning Chinese by 2015? A new Asia Society report recommends national commitment and investments in teaching Chinese language and culture.

The report documents a growing consensus among national security and business leaders, educators and foreign language experts. Its analysis of the current status of Chinese language instruction concludes that the current infrastructure to support recruitment of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programs is woefully inadequate. The study suggests short- and long-range strategies.
