The 100,000 Strong Initiative
The U.S. Department of State recognizes the importance of studying Chinese and in 2009 began the "100,000 Strong Initiative". The need and demand for studying Chinese is described on their web site and below:
NEED
The need for Americans to gain greater exposure to and
understanding of China is clear: there is perhaps no more important or complex
relationship in the world than that between the United States and China in
terms of securing global peace and security. Virtually no major international
issue – whether global economic recovery or climate change or nuclear
non-proliferation can be solved without the active engagement of both the
United States and China, working in concert.
Yet Americans have much to learn about China. Ten times more Chinese students come
to the United States for educational programs than Americans who study in
China, and 600 times more Chinese study the English language than Americans
study Mandarin. This imbalance in knowledge can undermine strategic trust
between the two countries. Redressing this imbalance in knowledge is essential
to ensuring that Americans have the cultural understanding and language skills that
underpin effective diplomacy and foreign policy. It will also enhance our
students’ ability to succeed academically and professionally in the global
economy.
DEMAND
Interest in China is on the rise among Americans. The number of Americans studying in China grew 30 percent annually from 2001-2007, and we expect those numbers to continue to grow for the foreseeable future. In the 2007-08 school year, for example, 13,165 American college students and an estimated 1,000 high school students went to China for some type of study program. While this organic growth is encouraging, the current trends may be insufficient to meet the real challenges and opportunities of this vitally important relationship.
