In response to the new French (amused)

Valid point, up to a point.

French is pretty useless unless you want to live in France, Quebec or Mauritius, but like it or not, the old British Empire is responsible for the number of countries that use English. It's said that Mandarin is the most widely spoken language on the planet, (hardly surprising when you consider the population of China), with Spanish second.

The new rules with respect to authenticating degrees is already having a huge effect in China. Even those people with genuine degrees are refusing to pay the exorbitant fee to get them notarised. This will see the beginning of the end of FT's in China.

The gaokao is already totally unfair (IMHO), insofar as a student cannot re-sit it if they score a mark that is just below pass. However, I think that English is still considered to be far more important in China than French is in the UK. Time will tell I guess?
