No matter how many thousands of years of amazing culture you have, the grass always looks greener on the other side so the Chinese want to adopt other cultures too. English is the second language of the country and in recent years the government has encouraged everyone to learn English at school. In practice this usually means learning to write English because there are few English speakers in the country to educate so many people. It’s not unusual to see signs and names of objects in English as well as Chinese. It is however unusual to find Chinese people who speak more than a few words of English.
