Compilers’ Aims
Recent developments in China help accelerate her links with foreign countries, especially with the developed countries, by increasing exchange of visits and business. As a happy result a good number of foreigners take great interest in learning Chinese. It is reported that Chinese in taught to 30 million students in more than 100 countries in the world; that over 3.3 million students are taking Chinese courses at various levels in over 12,400 institutions and schools. In the year of 2003 alone the number of foreign participants in HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test) reached to 300,000, the greatest number registered ever before. A large number of the learners are believed to be those people who wish to do business with China or work for the companies, which have close contact with their Chinese counterparts. China’s speedy economic progress has opened up a new vista of commercial opportunities that no foreign companies can after to lose. Modern China has been regarded as a “World Factory” where over one hundred thousand foreign enterprises have settled down, and hundreds of thousand foreign entrepreneur businessmen and managers are living and working. They are very much eager to learn Chinese as their tool of daily communication with the native people, and have commercial contact with local dealers. Programmed and supported by China National Office For Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language
(NOCFL), we, the members of the Compiling Group, have prepared Business Chinese Readers.

For Whom the Course is Intended
Among the industrialists and businessmen who wish to learn Chinese there is nearly no one who is able to take a systematic course at an institution. The great majority of them would like to take a part-time short course, self-taught or person-to-person learns instead, because they do not want to tale Chinese as their major, nor do they wish to become a fluent speaker of Chinese. All they wish to do is to acquire necessary Chinese know ledge and skills that may be needed in their communication with Chinese people without too much difficulty, and thus to enhance their success in business. The present course is prepared for those industrialists and businessmen who have never learned or have just begun learning basic Chinese that is not their mother tongue.
