As an American who grew up at a religious school in the 90s, we absolutely did not (or at least I never had access to one). Obviously places like Kora or Tibet have been effected in their history (I still want to read your answers 😁), but what about, for example, New Zealand? Or Sierra Leonne? Or Portugal? I’m just curious to see how pervasive the new Global Language already is by this point.
BonusQuestion: Is it mostly following their Belt-and-Road Initiative? Wouldn’t that be something?
Of course plenty of American schools offer Chinese language courses. It’s odd that you assumed with total confidence that the opposite was true.
I didn’t say Chinese has never been taught here. I say my experience 30+ years ago didn’t offer any but that could have been for numerous reasons
