...although i felt the host was disappointed maybe with his answer to the last question about the prospect for world wide adoption of Chinese. That phase is already over for China.

I feel that historically Chinese spread in a sense to the neighboring countries who more or less adopted hanzi for written needs according to their own language's requirements. So those languages are affected with all sorts of Chinese words. In Korean it's around 60 percent according to people who quantify it. With the Anglo-American expansion around the world, and a more efficient alphabet, the opposite is happening now. Korean is being adulterated with all sorts of English phrases and vocabulary. With Korean it's more of the technological and cultural influence, the professional, media and entertainment vocabularies, because Hangul is similar in structure to English and also more efficient if much less precise than Hanja.

What is the time on the video of the "auto noise cancelling?"
