International businesses prefer to hire people who speak more than one language. China has become a huge market, and business leaders are looking for people who can speak Chinese and operate successfully in a Chinese cultural context. Knowing Chinese may give me an edge when competing for an important position. China will play a major role in world affairs in the future. As China now has opened up to the West, there are opportunities for employment in all areas. As beijing is the capital of china, it's more easier to learn and practise chinese there. Also I have many friends who are in beijing and they all agree that beijing is a wonderful city. And the university (BLCC) has a wonderful social life. They organise many events and students are friends.
