In my experience, English is several parts of Asia is a real problem when compared to Africa. Asia still have a very long way to go re: English. However, the majority of them are just happy the way they are because all their infrastructure, cars, control units, laptops, books, logistics, radio programming, Tv programming, e.t.c., are very well represented in their native languages, minimizing the importance for English from that perspective. As it were, while English is necessary for international trading, it is less so for developing internally (Japan and Taiwan are excellent cases), as I have seen around Asia. Mark.
