US openly looking for spies who speak arabic or CHINESE.

Wanna spy on China?

The NSA is looking for spies who can speak chinese. And they aren't being subtle about it.

I would have thought people who could speak Korean would be the most in demand right now for the NSA.

Quest, I can just imagine the interogation(sp)

"So you're are a spy?"

"No! I am a shepherd."

"Ah!! A shepherd's pie!!"

In the long run China could be the bigger problem as in 30 years some estimate that China could be the biggest economic in the world

They also have the biggest foot army and Air Force (Roumer about airforce)

China is going to be the biggest economic power in the world period. The US and China are either going to have it out, or have an economic version of the cold war. Just a matter of time.

Are you speaking to me?

Regardless, please only post when you have something to actually contribute to the subject as opposed to a childish remark. ie. grow up

China has many different dialects, are they looking specifically for mandarin?
