a child learns to speak by imitation. If the child grew up listening to both English and Chinese, the the child would most likely be bilingual.

Huh? You learn by hearing what is spoken around you. It would most likely be Mandarin Chinese, but if English is spoken around the child, he (she) would learn that too.
