There are about as many Chinese people who speak English as a second language as there are Americans speaking English natively.

I'm sure you would notice it if they had unrestricted access to the internet. They can't all be lurking.

there's like a lot of chinese people in china

Yes, most. But not all. There are currently approximately 50 million Chinese people living elsewhere.

That's a lot more than the domestic population of many individual countries.

I lived in China for a few years and the number of Chinese people who think they can speak English is a lot different than the number of people who actually can speak English and be understood by other English speakers.

Memeing is easier than speaking at least.
