"They (British people) see great opportunities in learning Chinese," Liu Xiaoming, Chinese ambassador to the UK, said recently.
"As China grows, the UK and other countries will need to engage more with China. Naturally, the demand for Chinese speakers will grow."
The Confucius Institute says its classes on Chinese language and culture are available in 105 countries and regions, covering 86 percent of the world's population, and more than 160 universities in 62 countries have shown "strong interest" in starting Mandarin classes with the institute's help.
