The original idea of the ICCH, which works with China's embassy in Mexico, was to teach overseas Chinese children, but now Mexicans kids chinese online, from all age groups. A fever for the Chinese culture -- covering fine arts, foods, martial arts and its language -- began a decade ago in Mexico.

An official from the Mexico City branch of Confucius Institute said adults who had economic links with China were the first to be interested in learn chinese language, but now students come from varied backgrounds due to China's modernization and openness.

The Asian giant, previously viewed by many Mexicans as mysterious and inscrutable, has undergone steady and fast development in the past 30 years, and has become an emerging modern nation with a traditional culture thousands of years old.

China's dazzling appearance attracts millions of viewers across the world, and Mexicans are no exception. The demand for mandarin for children grows every year, and reached its peak during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the official with the Mexico City branch of Confucius Institute said. Parents who saw China's rise on television believe this is "a nation of the future" and it is necessary to know more about its culture and society. They seek mandarin for children to make them ready for a possible future of working together with Chinese people and companies.

The Confucius Institute was jointly established by the Huaxia Chinese Cultural Institute of Mexico and China National Office for Teaching mandarin for children as a Foreign Language (NOCFL). Officials said the institute had been promoting Mexico-China cultural exchanges since its inception, and had established five more branches teaching kids chinese online in Mexico, two of which are in Mexico City.
