Millions of Chinese learn English in school from a very early age to have access to the global labor market.

You have a huge unrecognized privilege in being a native English speaker.

Not sure why you're making this personal. I do of course realize the privilege in speaking English as a first language, being born in a developed nation, as a white cis-man, and so on.

To cling to the idea that English need continue to be the most important global economic language though, is a type of linguistic and economic supremacy I don't care to partake in.

The same logic applies in the real world. It’s not personal. It’s the most impersonal thing possible.
