- Description
Two middle aged men walk past a news agent's that has a billboard reading 'Invasion of English language upsets Chinese'. A group of teenagers pass by talking together in what seems like a foreign language to the men, one of whom comments that he wouldn't be upset if they had an English invasion here. Refers to news that an alarm bell has been sounded by such eminent scholars as Professor To Cho-yee of Hong Kong, who argues that the widespread study of English is a waste of valuable resources to the detriment of the study of Mandarin (cf. Shanghai Star 10-24-02, "English Dominance").
