Why might a college student in England take classes to learn Mandarin Chinese?

Mandarin Chinese is widely used in China, a major participant in international trade. A student might learn it to communicate with Chinese-speaking partners and prepare for work in international business relations. The other choices concern Italian pizza-making, preserving an unspecified traditional language, or Indonesian dance, so they do not give a direct reason to study Mandarin.
