Gujaratis take admissions in Mandarin classes

But according to city-based teachers and students of Chinese language, the trend to learn Chinese recently got a big push after Xi's visit. "There is an increasing trend amongst Gujaratis to learn Chinese languages. The trend emerged rapidly, during the last two years after China and Gujarat began new business relations due to initiatives taken by state's former Chief Minister and present Prime Minister Narendra Modi," a city-based teacher of Chinese languages, Lavanya Trivedi said.
