Hello Everyone My friend and I created a Chinese translation of FDR's 'The Facts About Spanking' video. My friend did the translation and I edited everything together. If you know anyone who speaks Chinese or who knows people who speak Chinese, feel free to share the video with them. Also, many of the sources cited in FDR's original video are secondary sources so I've added several other primary sources related to corporal punishment which you may find useful. I have listed the new sources below, along with the video. By the way, I originally tried to send this video to Michael but he stopped responding to me after a few emails. I'm not sure why. I tried to send the video to both Michael and Stefan again but I heard nothing from either of them. Thus, I'm just going to post it here and if they want to use it, that's fine, of course.

I often hear a lot of "Chinese is the language of the future" comments from people who think they are really intelligent. I was thinking it over and I do not believe this to be true. 1. Chinese is very difficult to learn in comparison to English and Spanish and other Languages. 2 China is teaching many of their students Mandarin/English/Spanish while most schools around the world are not learning Mandarin 3. People often believe Chinese is the language of the future simply because the Chinese have a huge population. However, their population is all in one area while English and other mainly European languages spread all over the world. So your thoughts? Will a Chinese language like Mandarin and Cantonese be the language of the future?
