Global Heft




China has embarked on the largest mass urbanization in history, a monumental migration from country to city that will leave China with nearly a billion urbanites by 2025 and an astonishing  number of  cities with populations over 1 million. This is the extent of  a global heft , a scale of transformation that is hard to believe , but its already happening !
Some of these  cities are already  global powers, from top-ranked Shanghai to manufacturing dynamo Shenzhen; others, from Fuzhou to Xiamen, were little more than provincial backwaters in the 20th century but are  household names in the 21st, powering the global economy not just through their sheer size but also through their pulsing drive.
Therefore , it is not difficult to agree ,that  the cities of the future will increasingly  be  Mandarin- speaking  -- even more than you realize !  
Do not hesitate , learn mandarin !
