Another point is that strange thought usually Chineses got, that in their mind any foreigner is American and speaks English. They don´t even consider many of us are French, Italians, Germans, Spaniards, Argentinians, Russians...Sometimes when you say that you speak another language different from English they surprisily answer " What?, aren´t you a foreigner?". But of course: When they go to Europe, never tell them " for us chinese and japaneses are the same" unless you wanna offend them deeply.
