Fashionable Chinese Characters

In recent Voice of America's News Chinese section, there is an article about Hanzi Smatter titled "汉字渐成美国年轻人追求时尚"; or in English, "American Youth Consider Chinese Characters Fashionable". (more at voanews.com and donews.com)

What I personally found interesting was the last sentence of the article:

据统计,目前全球学习中文的人数已达3000万,预计到2007年将有1亿人学习中文。


Translation:

According to statistics, currently there are 30 million [non-Chinese] people studying Chinese globally, this number is expected to reach 100 million by 2007.
