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.

So, finally here, my “first” blogpost. This was initially meant to be posted somewhere around beginning or middle of August 2010, a few weeks before I left to China.
