    English was mandatory in primary school for decades. It is only very recently that may not be true, but every single Chinese person with a university degree is at least proficient in English.

        You write nearly perfect English. Perhaps you have improved since then, but minimum proficiency is conversational plus some travel vocab.

        My experience is mostly with students from Tsinghua, Fudan, etc, so maybe I am off the mark, but my experience is that Chinese generally have good English language skills. I wish my Chinese was half as good.
