If you learn Chinese, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to be a Chinese major or an East Asian Studies major. It simply means you are preparing yourself to meet the trends of now and the future, and equipping yourself with the necessary tools and value-added skills to meet demand. In North America, it creeps many people to think they need to learn another language as other countries have always gone to places such as the US to seek development, yet alone be required to learn another language all throughout school and pass tests on it in order to graduate, such is the case in China. Therefore, regardless if your major includes Chinese as a second language requirement you should take it to simply meet this common reality and not reject it just because it isn’t English.
