China has almost 20% of the worlds population, the largest english speaking nation is USA which has about 2% (sums done in my head based on 1 billion Chinese, 350 million USA and world population 7 billion). Then take into consideration that even though Chinese may be a first language, English would be a second language for a lot of Chinese. Makes sense that Chinese is the second most widely used language. Weather it is a fact or not I don't know, but with those numbers it makes sense.
