henning - Economic Crises and Learning Chinese?

I am just being curious: Is anyone's relation to China and learning Chinese affected by the current unfortunate economic developments?

Are your companies' projects and /or plans in China postponed or canceled - or even strategically extended? And does all this (and the personal consequences) have any affect on personal learning motivation?

Or is the urge to learning Chinese weathering through the tides of time because it is too much fun and considered to be worth the time and the (opportunity) costs [as it seems to be the case for me]?
