First of all Chinese and English are incomparable and is very hard for one to learn the other. Secondly, in China, only those have intentions to go colleges and advancements for their careers, a figure of say 50 million, learn some form of English. Out of that number, perhaps, 10% of them learn higher English for the fields they choose. So 5 million Chinese speakers of English out of 1.3 billion people means less than half % speak English.
The true is, away from the big cities in China, no one care to learn English.
Well that's to be expected. Those who are just working in a factory or tilling their farms have no need to learn English.

What often happens is a Westerner with that idea goes to China and instead discovers he can't learn Chinese because everybody wants to practice their English on him.So, come to china for business, should learn chinese first -
Based on personal experience I suspect if an "oversea Chinese" is proficient enough to speak, read, and write in good Chinese then he or she can earn a lot more money doing something other than teach this language.I think as a chinese teacher will be a good vocation for oversea chinese!
In HK almost nobody works in farms or factories anymore. The vast majority now work in the tertiary sector.
Still there is no real need to learn English for most people.
I tried tutoring English when I was younger (as unpaid work experience), but many of my students could not carry out a simple conversation in English.
More to the point, they didn't need to.
Why you seem to see your country's lack of proficiency in English as a point of pride is puzzling to say the least.
