As an American who grew up at a religious school in the 90s, we absolutely did not (or at least I never had access to one). Obviously places like Kora or Tibet have been effected in their history (I still want to read your answers 😁), but what about, for example, New Zealand? Or Sierra Leonne? Or Portugal? I’m just curious to see how pervasive the new Global Language already is by this point.

BonusQuestion: Is it mostly following their Belt-and-Road Initiative? Wouldn’t that be something?

    I mean, when you addressed what is frankly a minor, tangential part of the OP with an essay, it does come across as heavy-handed, even if that isn’t what you meant by it

      No, it wasn’t

      with an essay

      Hyperbole

      it does come across as heavy-handed

      What does that even mean?
      “I took your question seriously and attempt a serious answer” == “heavy-handed”?
      “I don’t agree with all your points” == “heavy-handed”?
      Seriously, what does “heavy-handed” even mean here? It seems to imply aggression?
