POPSlingua franca 1 - the issue of a future chinese world economic power is not so sure. china has many problems and some years of economic boom and a ovearsized population don't automatically make for a suppliant of usa in the world economy top 2 - interesting is an article in yale global (i didn't bookmarked it, but i think it may be found - in the second half of the past year), written by a chinese teacher who expressed his disappointment with poor mastering of their native language by chinese students, more interested in learning english 3 - english is more simple than chinese and i can't see in the near future an overwhelming increasing international interest for the chinese language, a switch from english to chinese as lingua franca being more an exotic dream than a realistic prediction

POPScome back of russia here an excerpt from the article: "The global order is re-dividing into roughly two de facto blocs - one has the US at its core and the other has Russia-China at its core. Energy is the major dividing line between the two blocs, and as desperation for control of strategic energy resources increases rapidly, so will the sharpness of the dividing line between the two blocs. With energy thus serving as a primary catalyst, the resource-rich Eurasian bloc is attaining significantly more gravitational pull than the American bloc."
