I don’t think Chinese will become a important language for the world to learn. The Chinese government knows that English is the universal language and for China to be a player in the world economy, Chinese people have to be able to speak English.
The Chinese people are very eager to learn English. If a person does not speak English, they cannot earn over $50 a month. If they can read, write and speak English they can get a job with a multi-national for $300 a month.
I think English will become as universal in China as it is in India.
