Mandarin could be taught in Welsh secondary schools in a bid to raise Wales' international profile.
The Welsh Government wants to establish the country as a visitor destination for Chinese people as part of its new strategy to boost trade.
It is also looking to have a "Wales in Germany" themed year in 2021
and have an increased presence in EU countries.
威尔士还计划在2021年举办“威尔士在德国”主题年，并扩大在欧盟国家的业务。
International relations minister Eluned Man said she wanted to sell Wales to the world.
Welsh businesses sold more than 17bn pounds of goods abroad in 2018 and at present 60% of those exports go to the EU
with Germany as the top destination.
But after Brexit
ministers want "to ensure that the European Union remains our strongest partner" as well as developing markets elsewhere. Its goal is a 5% increase in exports.
To make that happen
the Welsh Government has launched a new international strategy to focus on three areas - cyber-security
pound semi-conductors
and creative industries - chosen in part for their "resilience to Brexit" and because of their "global recognition as areas of excellence".
In its report
it also listed a number of ideas
including:
Raise Wales' profile by exploring the feasibility of teaching Mandarin in secondary schools as part of a long-term vision to establish the country as a visitor destination for the Chinese market
Work with education institutions to increase the number of international students studying in Wales
Hold a "Wales in Germany" themed year in 2021
Working with existing neorks to build a global Welsh Diaspora social neork of 500
000 people
focusing in the first year on the USA and Japan and use cultural and sporting events to "open doors" in difficult markets
Promoting Wales as the "go-to nation" for advice on minority language development
Ms Man said she was "anxious" to change the Welsh Government's relationship with the UK government to help sell Wales abroad
adding they wanted the best possible Brexit deal and would be "constructive partners".
