In this day and age, I’d be putting my kids in some sort of Chinese language in a heart beat. Look where we live. I don’t see A huge population of Spanish speaking individuals moving in. Never-mind taking over the entire world. Lol |
The US is increasingly becoming more Hispanic / Spanish-speaking, and there aren't any signs this will slow any time soon. As a corollary to that, I noticed that the Lower Mainland has seen a larger population of Hispanics as well, although of course the size still seems smaller than Asians (Chinese / Filipino / Indians).
With the way Mainland China is heading, I don't really foresee it being all too successful of a country in the future. This may or may not affect the outflow of rich Chinese and/or their wealth into Vancouver / Canada. But as a rule, I don't consider it a good business strategy if your business if focused on the Chinese market, be it here locally in Vancouver, or with a view towards international trading with China. It is not a pleasant way to earn your profits.
