Why do people in China learn foreign English?

Because English is a worldwide language, which is almost universally used, China people learn to communicate better with foreigners in order to keep up with advanced civilization. Otherwise, standing still will only lead to backwardness and being eliminated by the times. And now with the strength of the country, more and more foreigners are learning Chinese. The reason is that language is just a tool for learning foreign languages. Even learning a small language like Japanese is not unpatriotic. On the contrary, we take this as the simplest example. At the Guangzhou Asian Games a few years ago, when the Korean delegation delivered its acceptance speech, it even slogan "Changbai Mountain is our motherland". However, because the audience at the scene did not understand Korean, they even gave warm applause. It is really necessary to learn other languages.
