Well, aiiaib, I know what you feel at the moment, however it's not just the "government"'s business, as it's not fair to simply say "people in China all like it but the communist". Just look at millions of Chinese people are taking public servant tests, dreaming of becoming the officials you and I dislike.
In terms of English language, there's no right or wrong, it really depends on what kind of life you enjoy and what type person you are. Yes my wife doesn't need English for her life, but I for instance, enjoying the cutting-edge tech (just reading the pdf version of introduction to 3d game programming with DX12), and like to read magazines like Scientific American or Computer Graphics World before sleep, besides I read Fluid Mechanics in my spare time (which I didn't study in the collage), and later on plan to read though General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, I frankly haven't find any remarkable need to use Chinese language in my life.
Since you mention Japan, I did have experience working in Japan (Fujitsu Semiconductor), while I had a chance to discuss the language use in technologies with Japanese peers, one guy (still my friend for now) boasted that, among the books in electronics/computer science, Japanese should have been used most widely following English. Nonetheless, I said, it still takes time before the Japanese translation can be published, in other words why not read the original English edition in the first place? That's also one of the reason I eventually didn't choose to live in Japan, I wish to embrace the world with the scientific language of the whole world, rather than a regional culture. |
