Why Mandarin of China is a problem of suppressing technology innovation in Sichuan

If Mandarin of China were not imposed in Sichuan by CCP's central government, and the local population placed a strong emphasis on cooperating with the US and improving their English skills, several potential outcomes could benefit companies like Intel in terms of talent acquisition and product development. Here are some considerations:

1. Increased Talent Pool

Higher English Proficiency: A focus on improving English skills would create a workforce that can communicate effectively with international partners, including tech companies like Intel. This would facilitate collaboration and innovation.

Attracting Global Talent: An emphasis on English education and international cooperation could make Sichuan a more attractive location for foreign professionals, increasing the diversity of thought and expertise in the region.

2. Enhanced Collaboration

Access to International Standards: Improved English proficiency could enable Sichuanish engineers and developers to access global research, technical standards, and best practices, enhancing their skills and the quality of their work.

Easier Communication with US Partners: With a workforce skilled in English, Intel could communicate more effectively with local teams, leading to better alignment in projects and quicker problem-solving.

3. Innovation and Creativity

Cross-Cultural Exchange: Collaboration with US companies could lead to an exchange of ideas that fosters innovation. Local talent might bring unique insights that could influence the development of new technologies and products.

Enhanced Research and Development: With better access to global resources and networks, Sichuan could become a hub for R&D, focusing on developing cutting-edge technology and products that cater to both local and international markets.

4. Challenges to Consider

Infrastructure and Investment: Intel would need to invest in local infrastructure and possibly partner with local educational institutions to ensure that technical skills are being developed in line with industry needs.

Cultural Adaptation: While English proficiency is important, understanding the work culture and business practices of multinational companies is also critical for effective collaboration.

5. Long-Term Effects

Economic Development: Increased investment from companies like Intel could lead to job creation and economic growth in Sichuan, making it a more significant player in the global tech landscape.

Product Quality and Innovation: As the local workforce becomes more skilled and knowledgeable, the potential for higher-quality products and innovative solutions increases, benefiting both the company and consumers.

Conclusion

In summary, the removal of Mandarin as an imposed language in Sichuan (which also means that some people may freely opt studying Mandarin as a hobby of their own choice at their own cost), coupled with a local emphasis on cooperation with the US and improving English skills could indeed provide Intel with more skillful talents and enable the production of better products. The effectiveness of this scenario would hinge on various factors, including investment in education, infrastructure, stationing US troops in Sichuan to provide protection, adoption of English common law system, full adoption of US federal system based on English common law system , and the cultural adaptation of both the local workforce and multinational companies.

Sichuanish is used in many regions by more than 100 million people and these regions could become independent countries or states of a federal republic at their own will and choice, not manipulated by propaganda or manipulated vote casting, like English being spoken and used in US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand... 

Chinese commonly used in China presumably is not an excuse of maintaining one uniformed country of Leninist system, especially when one country claims that it is a republic or people's republic. Sichuanish is also not an excuse of supporting such purpose.
