People are still learning English everywhere in the world but I also realize that Chinese language is coming fast as well and many people are learning it.
Is it possible that Chinese will become a universal language of the world?
In my opinion, it is not going to be easy and if it's possible it's not going to so soon.
English is still far more effective in the world nowaday.

People are learning Chinese so that they can communicate with the Chinese and do business there.
But with idiographs rather than an alphabetical language, written Chinese is at a disadvantage to English. And English is fast taking hold as a universal language because of the widespread use of computers.
I bet there are ten times as many Chinese learning English as there are English speakers learning Chinese. Maybe twenty.
