Disney is picking up steam in China, and in addition to bringing
cartoon characters, theme parks, and Americana, it's also bringing the
English language. U.S. policymakers should take notice.
During the next five years, Disney will spearhead
a massive expansion of English-language schools in China, from a mere
11 today to 148 by 2015. According to Russell Hampton, president of
Disney Publishing Worldwide, the expansion could deliver operating
earnings of more than $100 million.
