Call in China to end English's core status sparks debate

A proposal in China to reduce the importance of English in schools has sparked a heated debate about its value for students, their future careers, and the country's global competitiveness. This discussion comes at a time when artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent, and English language skills are often seen as a key factor in China's ability to compete on the world stage. The outcome of this debate could have significant implications for China's education system, its economy, and its role in international trade.
