Idag skrev ett gäng med Kinakännare ett debattinlägg om hur de ser på Björklunds initiativ om mer kinesiska i skolan. Initiativet är bra, men det behövs mer, och överlag en förändrad attityd mot kunskaper om Kina.

23 years ago, the ruling party in Beijing commanded a massacre of peacefully demonstrating people on the Tiananmen square.

I was first going to write this as a facebook update, but when I realised it was a bit long and that I update my blog not too often, I realized I could copy it into my blog instead. It has been going on for a while, I heard it a few month ago for [...]
