If this happens, I just wonder how programmers gonna code the C language (or all other programming languages), and all other technical, scientific, medical, and mechanical engineering studies in Mandarin? What about LAW? Can you imagine all those existing LAW reference books the size of Holy Bibles that need to be re-written in Mandarin?

It's UNTHINKABLE!

In the first place, the world wasn't tailored in Manadarin!!!

This, can NEVER happen. Period.
