      Whatever suits you best

      And in case you haven't noticed, The US is 9 trillion dollars in debt and rising. Why isn't Chinese the new language of business?

      That's really kind of sad... They're not "real" words.

      you can still have a large economy and be in debt. The US has a very large income, but very high expidenture also. thought the US is in debt, it still has the largest economy and biggest business.

      I really need to start using these words in daily conversation, and then I'll lulz when people yell at me.
      You do this every fucking time.
      No sweat.
      No tears.
      No guilt.
      You do this every fucking time.

      So why isn't Chinese the business language? It's currently operating at 1/10th of it's potential, and billions of goods across the world come from there. How come people don't recognize this and make it the new language of business?

      Because English is infinitely simpler than Chinese, Japanese, Russian and a number of other languages.

      The only alternatives to English would be French or Spanish, I imagine.

      because, despite China's rapidly growing economy, it is still not as large as America's? And China just has a large labor force that's controlled by who? american businesses. a lot of the world sells stuff to the US, and to sell to the US, it's best if you speak English.
