China, Japan and India's economies have been rapidly growing in the last few years & it is likely that one of them will become the world's superpower. Whereas, USA is going through a slump right now & European economy is going from bad to worse. If this trend continues any further, we might as well be facing the prospect of China or Japan dominating the world & the English speaking nations in the world will have to give way to the Chinese.
Schools will no longer offer English as a key, important language anymore. Stock markets, News broadcasts, movie posters etc. will all contain Chinese characters, as opposed to English that we have been accustomed to. Soon, English will become like what, say French or German is at the moment. English will lose it's importance.
Are you scared that this thing is waiting to happen? Chinese will dominate English
