Abstract
This research has discerned the reasons, which encourage Pakistani individuals to learn Chinese during Covid-19. With the pandemic, an abrupt shift in the power dynamics occurred, causing vilification to China’s global presence. The aim of this research is to analyze the derived perspectives of Chinese language learning amidst Covid-19. In Pakistan, Chinese is on its way to compete with English and marginalize other indigenous languages. Through a quantitative analysis, this study highlights the changing attitudes of Pakistanis towards foreign languages. The data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed with the help of the five-level Likert scale. The results of this study revealed that educational and employment-related opportunities were rooted in the popularity of the Chinese language. Most of the respondents gravitated towards Chinese language learning due to its financial promises and technological advancement. However, they showed their concern for the impending death of indigenous languages, for which a language policy should be implemented.
