    I would teach my kid chinese. Asians are imigrating so much now to the west and it'll be really useful in their future, such as gettiing a job since employers are wanting people who speak more languages now. And they wouldn't really be chinese if they didn't know their heritage and weren't able to communicate to others.

    Most definitely. I regret refusing to learn chinese when I was little, even though I'm pretty fluent in speaking, not writing, cantonese. So, I don't want my children to feel that same regret later when they grow up. Plus, like everyone has said, it's a plus knowing a second or possibly third language.

    I would definitely teach my kids chinese, I don't want them to lose their heritage and tradition. I think maintaining their identity is an extremely important part of their development.
