We live in a diverse society with many cultures that should be made available to us.

100% in my support - and don't forget academic freedom; this is a fundamental ingredient in the tertiary education mix.

The removal of Chinese department will definitely affect many futures, mine as well. I'm signing for the longevity of this module at Stellenbosch uni, long live Chinese, long live. ✊

Chinese should stay

Currently, the ability to interact with the Chinese is a prerequisite for development, not just in South Africa, but in Africa. The ability to engage in dialogue is a prerequisite for trade and development.

Please do not discontinue Chinese and put students at risk.

I support this case as it is hugely unfair to students who have already invested time and money into this course and have structured their immediate plans for the future around it. Many would have made different decisions had they known the course might be discontinued. The least the institution could do is allow those are studying to finish the requirement of their courses and then discontinue for those incoming who have not yet started with the language

Chinese as a language and learning Chinese can only be beneficial for future Stellenbosch students. Chinese is a truly global language as it has the most speakers globally!

It is imperative that the Chinese Section not be closed!

I strongly encourage that the Chinese department of the university stays well funded. The opportunity in the East is only growing for westerners.

The Mandarin department is a strategic resource for University of Stellenbosch and the country. Allowing it to close is stupid.

China is the next global economic powerhouse. Do you want to talk to them?

Stellenbosch's Mandarin department is a credit to the university. Closing the Chinese section will not only hurt its students but the institution's credibility and good name.
