Last time we tested the English levels of the top students in China at Fudan University (Ranked #3 in China, top 0.2% of students) and the results were astonishing.
To further this social experiment, we went to Hainan University (Ranked #120 in China). It's actually the best university in the Hainan Island province, and is located right next to the ocean! The province is not known for academics, but better known for it's weather, beaches, food and people. It also happens to be my hometown.
NOTE - regarding the English levels of students here, I make an important disclosure at end of video about students who didn't want to be interviewed, so be sure to watch until the end!

I would say in most cases, this is absolutely the real fact in China. We have little chace to use it, to practice it. When I was a student, I hated English but I quite admired those who can speak english fluently. We suffer a lot for putting tons of effort to learn a foreigh language without any occation to practice it, to speak it out. That ends up a big failure, wasting huge time and resource, and badly demanging every learner's confidence. By the way, I must thank to my english teacher while I'm the third year of a high-school. He did great job. Instead of teaching us, he was always spending 80% of the time in class to bring the most interesting things happening around the world to us, vivily, which also siginificantly openned my eyes. Now I'm working for an international company for multiple years. Before joining this company, I realize the most useful method to get this ticket is to get my speaking as native/fluent as possible, I mean not the tone for the first step, but the way of expression. For me, personally, I would recommend anyone who were/are suffering from learning English, the primary thing for that is to speak like a native speaker. Once you're able to communicate, then you should be interested in learning more vocabularies, more advance expression. Our education system needs to think about that as well, but it's said that English will be placed into a less significant level. I don't know how it will work, but anyway, speaking fluently is the first step and key to success of learnig any language. Just as the way we speak mandarine.

It is true that English teaching and learning in China are not so successful. Maybe our students need more opportunities and confidence to speak English rather than learning boring vocabulary in the classroom. It is not the students' and even teachers' fault but this is a critical issue needing to be improved.

Kind of the same thing happens in the US, although we don't start studying foreign languages so early and we're not under so much test pressure. We study a language, and then often we don't have any opportunity to use it. We just study from a boring textbook. So then later, we have no ability to use the language that we studied because we forgot everything or don't have any confidence. Most of the time, it's not a problem because very few people go abroad because it's too expensive. However, people do make fun of us because unless you learned a language from your family (because you are Hispanic or American Chinese, for example), Americans usually can't speak another language.

I am always amazed at no matter how broken some non English speakers sound, English native speakers can always understand them😂 I’m from China but I lived in the west for many years. What I’ve noticed is that Koreans are the ones who are most good at English among the three East Asian countries. ( China japan Korea). I also sense that most of the time, Caucasian or native English speakers don’t really laugh at Chinese people’s English level, they are rather patient and showing kindness, however it is usually Chinese people themselves like to be harsh on themselves, super critical, picking on every little mistakes that you make and laugh at you. I sometimes wonder why Chinese people are so harsh on their own people?

I think in general Chinese people are harsh on each other because of a competitive nature... from primary school to full-time employment, everyone has to compete in order to put bread on the table

This is pretty true. Foreigners are way more forgiving that actual Chinese people XD. For example recently cathay pacific had an incident where their flight attendents were fired because they made fun of a passenger's English to their face.
