Most English speaking people think they will have no problem when traveling abroad thanks to English. Try China or Russia, and you will learn the hard way that it's not always so obvious ;)
Yes, I agree with you, but do you know what standards have put English in second place globally, and Chinese is ranked first in the world? Simply because of China's over 1.5 billion people. About one-fifth of the world's population, while English is spoken in more than one country such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. In the first place in my opinion. Because the Chinese language, even if you learn it, you will not need it in Europe, Africa, South America and America Shamali, so you need it when you go to China only.

I was on a beach in Spain when Chinese girls came to us for "massage? massage?". They were really surprised when I continued the conversation in Chinese (as other tourist around me). And when it came to negotiate the price, it added weight in my favor ;)
So, you never know where you're going to speak which language ;)
