NEW YORK, May 5 (Xinhua) -- It is critical and important for kids in the United States and Europe to learn Chinese nowadays, as a booming China generates a huge demand for Western employees speaking both fluent English and Chinese in the years to come.

This was the consensus among teachers, students and experts at the Experience China Open Day held by the Chinese Consulate General in New York City Friday evening.

"This event aims to motivate students' interests in learning Chinese language, understanding its culture, which is part of the increasingly close people-to-people exchanges that lay a solid foundation for strong China-U.S. relations," Acting Consul General Cheng Lei said.

Showcasing their appreciation of Chinese language and culture nike air max 2018 nz , a group of Bayside High School students performed traditional Kongzhu (Chinese yo-yo), and Montville Township High School students staged a short drama titled Shared Values of China and the United States in both English and Chinese.

"Parents here can see it very clearly that how the Chinese language and understanding of Chinese culture will be helpful and useful for their kids in the future," she said.

"It fundamentally opens their minds... nike air max 2018 , especially for kids in Europe and America," and "also opens a different window for them to see the world differently," she said.

"These are two very fundamental reasons for kids to learn Chinese language and culture as young as possible," Liao said.
