"I realized what an amazing part China plays in America's economy and the future of the world. I have always been interested in Chinese culture, but never thought that I could possibly learn the language. I am of the utmost belief that those who really want to understand the future of America, need to study China's history and culture, as well as the contemporary situation of the country."
