Answer 1

Answer:

Main reason population of China.

Explanation:

Dictatorship is the most efficient form of government.

Mao Zedong knew that China would be much, much stronger if all its people had a common language. He made Mandarin the only language of government, education and the media. That meant you could only be educated in Mandarin—and not Hakka, Wu or any other mutually unintelligible dialect spoken by tens of millions of people. The government controls everything in China so the only way to get anything done was to speak Mandarin.China is the most populous country, with the growth of any nation and race, so do Chinese. It must be admitted that the model of population’s growth is exponential, and people’s influence with whom they meet is in a group (As Chinese call it social circle). The large part of Chinese (one in sixth of world’s population) act as the basis(x), according to exponential formula: y = e ×, so the outcome number of Chinese offsprings still take accounts of the large part, they are still Chinese , at least have relations with China.

English is a language often learned by foreigners as a second language. The fact English is the first language of the world is true, but when Chinese meet each other, they prefer to use their mother tongue to speak, it’s a kind of nostalgia Chinese have. As a consequence, the Mandarin takes a role hardly be changed.

And people always prefers to challenge themselves especially bilinguals， trilinguals or more. Speak Chinese always tend to be a harder challenge than English, they need to practise more for it.
