China has peaked. Anyone studying mandarin will be like those studying Japanese at the peak of Japan Inc. in the 80s. Globalization was a great time for some while it lasted though, hope some of you of age have made money during the zenith.

Japanese is still a great language for business. Obviously if one learns it then joins an industry that doesn't benefit from it that's one's own fault.
