English—especially AMERICAN English is the Latin of the late 20th and 21st centuries—to ban it is to commit self-inflicted retardation.

Silly Chicoms.

Don’t worry. We’re banning English, too, and replacing it with babble...

Beats America where we can’t even get English declared the National language, and the first thing that you hear on the phone is press 1 for English.

China probably sees how we are spiraling down into the swamp of multicultural devolution.

Good for them. At least they are proud of their culture...

Good! Can we please go back to “Peking” and “Mao Tse Tung?”

English is on the march. I have attributed it to the fact that technology has been developed in English speaking countries. All computer terminology is in English. Four hundred years from now will it be Chinese?

Well, we already do this for some things over here. How many ways has Qaddafi/Kadhafy been spelled because it would be perfectly ridiculous to put the Arabic text (which reads right to left) which is utterly unrecognizable by most English speakers in an English news stories.

When something is written in Chinese, how can you tell if it is English?

How about all the Chinese phrases making their way into the English language? Like ‘you need a face lift’ (chin tu fat in the original Chinese) and ‘cleaning an automobile’ (wa shing kah), etc. Hypocrites!

China has already abused their language by using simplified characters.

It’s about time the Chinese stopped kowtowing to the West, they should have been more gung ho about this years ago.
