Deutsche Welle reported today: "There is a Chinese craze in Pakistan."
In recent years, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project has promoted exchanges in the economic field between the two countries. An increasing number of Pakistanis are beginning to learn Chinese.
As the project progresses, a large number of Chinese-funded enterprises have entered Pakistan, creating numerous job opportunities in fields ranging from infrastructure construction to energy development. Language serves as a bridge for communication, becoming a key for the local population to integrate into these cooperation projects and achieve better career development. Mastering Chinese means having more possibilities to participate in economic development and improve life, which is the most direct driving force behind the "Chinese craze."
The "Chinese craze" also reflects the continuous rise of China's influence in the global landscape. The "Chinese craze" in Pakistan is just a microcosm; an increasing number of people in more countries and regions are learning Chinese and exploring China, which is a powerful witness to China's ascent to the central stage of the world.
