CHINA, as the fastest growing country in computers, is in an excellent position to produce a universal computer language for the world. Such a computer language would help to overcome CHINA's age-old obstacle in scientific pursuits -- her analog pictorial language.

The obvious choice of such a language is English, provided it can be translated to computer programming languages by the computer operating environment. This effort has been competently undertaken by the natural-language programming program in the public-domain, robotic abacus, ROBACUS.

To make it widely acceptable by the general public, CHINA also needs to do the following three tasks:

1.standardize a 1000-words vocabulary by selecting the words from those used in the ROBACUS computing environment, paying special attention to avoid picking words that have duplicate functions.

2.encourage usage of these words as dumb (non-spoken) English as many Chinese would shy away from it if its proper pronounciation is required.

3.relax the grammatical and spelling rules on using it, as long as it does not adversely affect computers' efforts in doing their parts. ROBACUS is designed to accomodate that.

Successful implementation of the computer language in CHINA, as well as the rest of the world, requires CHINA to centrally unify and standardize this subset of English. To assure fullest benefit of this effort, CHINA should go futher to officially embrace this additional 1000 English words into her family of the national written langauge, as a little brother to the existing character language.

CHINA would finally have the best of both worlds -- a character language that is the culmination of her glorious cultural past and a computer language that puts her on an equal playing field as technologically advanced nations and promises a bright technical future, for herself and all other non-English speaking nations.
