BEIJING:
The education authorities in Saudi Arabia have reportedly instructed all public and private secondary schools to teach two Chinese language classes each week.

Experts said it will have “significant implications” in providing students with opportunities to learn Chinese and experience diverse culture. It also shows the two countries’ increasing communication and cooperation in the field of education.

The fourth period of every Sunday and Monday shall be assigned for teaching Chinese, the Saudi Gazette reported. This is “positive” news for Chinese language education developing in Saudi Arabia, as the schools have welcomed more than seven million students in the new semester, Chen Ming, a professor who teaches Chinese at King Saud University, told the Global Times.

More than seven million students across Saudi Arabia returned to schools and universities on August 20, the first day of the new academic year, according to media reports.

My personal opinion is,

Saudi Arabia is very much lacking natural resources like water, river, rain and greenery, except sands and oil

Because of this lacking, they have to be more alert and learn to see things more deeper and further before crisis arrived

Malaysia is a land overloaded with natural resources, most of us only learn to eat, eat and eat, hahaha.

look at the way they build NEOM, you will understand they see things more deeper and further than others due to the lack of natural resources

Yes, they need BRICS to progress quickly, de-dollarize, development etc

Saudi especially need progress, their peoples study Chinese language so that they can learn from China directly to modernize their own country

Latest updates: Not only teach Chinese Madarin in school, Saudi is Reforming, men women can dance together in public now

https://theconversation.com/saudi-reforms-a...-dissent-210537

The crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, or “MBS,” is bringing a new vision of a “moderate, balanced” Saudi Islam by minimizing the role of Saudi religious institutions once seen as critical to the monarchy.

For decades, Saudi kings provided support to religious scholars and institutions that advocated an austere form of Sunni Islam known as Wahhabism. The kingdom enforced strict codes of morality, placing restrictions on the rights of women and religious minorities, among others.

Under MBS, women have been allowed to drive; co-educational classrooms, movie theaters and all-night concerts in the desert – in which men and women dance together – are a new normal.

Scholars Yasmine Farouk and Nathan J. Brown call the diminishing role of Wahhabi religious scholars within Saudi domestic and international policy nothing short of a “revolution” in Saudi affairs.

Yes the west only want to create wars, conflicts, problems, funding puppet government, puppet leaders, exploit, sell weapons, oil, hegemony, make you poor...

MBS is moving away from the west, de-dollarize, reforms and learning from China

MBS need not worry about voting, opposition party, unlike most voting countries, he just do what he think is good for his saudi peoples, progress, learn Mandarin Chinese
