Government boosts investment to give officials global outlook, report Jiang Xueqing in Beijing and Wang Hongyi in Shanghai.

Learning a foreign language has become a serious business for people in China - not least for its leading figures.

"In my experience, direct communication - even the most basic kind - achieves better results than indirect communication," Jiang Zemin, the former president, wrote in his preface for Foreign Affairs Terms for Leading Cadres, the first installment of a series of foreign language books for officials.

But the foreign language skills of State and provincial leaders still do not match the country's demand for continuous economic development and growing international exchanges, he said.

"It is still unrealistic to require leading cadres to have comprehensive communication (with foreigners) without the assistance of a translator," he adds.

Jiang's words show the importance that has been placed on officials at all levels to learn languages and promote better understanding between China and the rest of the world.

The series, published by World Affairs Press, was unveiled at Beijing's Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in December. The books contain basic information about China's history, politics, economy and culture in Chinese and nine foreign languages, including English, French and German.

This top-down approach to learning English was introduced more than 10 years ago.

When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, central government officials found that the number of foreign exchanges between diplomats and dignitaries grew significantly. To improve cross-cultural communication skills, Li Lanqing, vice-premier at the time, was ordered to organize an English training program for leaders.
