    There are about as many Chinese people who speak English as a second language as there are Americans speaking English natively.

    I’m sure you would notice it if they had unrestricted access to the internet. They can’t all be lurking.

      I lived in China for a few years and the number of Chinese people who think they can speak English is a lot different than the number of people who actually can speak English and be understood by other English speakers.
