I've heard that English is the most widely spoken even tho there are still more native Mandarin speakers.
Not really, with the emerging super power (China). More and more people ar learning Mandarin from already the most widely spoken languange. Chinese are not only thos who stay in China. There so many Chinese people in Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia and America who are stuill preserving their Mandarin.
