Chinese have a respect for their culture and that is what was demonstrated in Olympics Opening ceremony ..
Unlike India no one cares about it.. We have Italian Super PM who was wearing track suit... and then half hybrid childrens .. half indian / other half Italian ...
The otherone is a speechless PM .. who never speaks in Hindi .. while this has nothing to do with the nation .. but the Chinese president gave his entire lecture in Chinese lang.. rather than the English Lang ( Popular / more common lang ) .. while some may argue this has nothing to do with the Country .. but that is what the difference between China and India

Communication is for convinience. It has to be understood well by the listener. Otherwise the conversation is lost. China has lost many of the businesses and political meetings because they couldnot communicate in English and India has benifitted. Software and BPO's are classic examples. If you talk about independence day speech, republic day speeches in hindi is understandable. Here you are addressing the world and not china alone.

Every country speaks their own language in any occasion then there are translators to do the rest. If you think knowing English is going to get jobs and China has lost these due to not knowing English, THINK AGAIN! Which country has the highest industrial production in the world? Which country has a growth rate of 10% and more? Which country has a trade surplus and practically rules the world economically without having dropped one single destructive bomb or gunshot? Which country refuses to be dictated to on any policy foreign or internal? Which country sits at the table of every international institution? Certainly not English speaking India.
