> What language do you think they use?

Frequently, Chinese or Japanese. For example companies in these countries employ translators. Are you suggesting they rely on primary school-level English to negotiate?

Other countries have competent language programs, the US is pretty unique in having unbelievably shit education in foreign languages.

That is to say, I would not be surprised if, in China, people are quiet fluent in English.

You claimed, without a source other than wikipedia, that everyone in Japan learns English in school. I see this [0] on wikipedia which says "a select number of public primary schools ... have mandatory English classes"
