Miland and Ceigered, if you want to have a big debate about China, I suggest you take it to private messages. It is off-topic on this thread and it seems to be mainly you two who are interested in this topic.

Bless them! They have never lived in a communist country but seem to be very knowledgeable about how life goes there. rideto.gif

I did. Whatever bad things we could say about the communist, one would be possitive - they really cared about children (at least in Poland). What I see now is a total disaster which goes worse and worse each passing year. In a couple of years our educational system will be just the same as in England and US.

I wasn't referring to you but you are very right.

The educational system in Bulgaria too is juts collapsing. ploro.gif

True that, it's not as good as having an impartial voice who's actually lived for a long time in China and in the West and can draw a proper comparison, given both China and the West are extremely diverse, vast regions. Then again, I reckon such a person honestly wouldn't care about debating it. But laŭ mi, "communist" is like "democracy", we just shove it on things as a label to make it seem to be part of a club, whether it lives up to the idea or not rido.gif. Speaking of democracy, I believe is it Switzerland that has a very intimate democracy with its citizens?

I think though it goes to show that the BRIC(S?) countries are pretty diverse and have their own host of problems, so Esperanto probably doesn't even register up in higher ranking parts of government.

And what's with everyone's education systems falling apart these days? Maybe we need to go back the old fashioned way and crouch around the tribal fire pit and tell engaging, educational stories about the legends of our peoples... and quantum physics.

I hope that B and I will exert an influence on C, at least not hindered by R, towards democratization. If Esperanto could help, des pli bone!

I'd go on about this, but, as erinja said, we're going way off topic here ridulo.gif

Anyway, supposing the BRICS do not succumb to internal differences and they achieve some sort of coherent single policy, how do you guys think Esperanto could be made a language sponsored by these newcoming giants?

There might need to be a BRIC action on a small scale involving the teaching of Esperanto to interested diplomats, and then a planned attempt to discuss an inter-BRIC problem (a minor and easy one at first) in the language. So an interest would have to be created in the diplomatic services. The Chinese government might be more easily persuaded to use the language for such purposes, as it has sponsored Esperanto publications.

Concerning the 'S': does anyone know about the degree of activity of the Esperanto movement in South Africa?

All we know so far.
