This is very interesting, thank you for sharing. I guess if we are using English as an example, since it is the best one due to how widespread it is. English wasn’t really learned in the way Mandarin is learned by Putin’s family members; by that I mean English was forced onto the colonized people, which would be a form of subordination. Criticizing the learning of Mandarin as submissive comes across as projection.
