My impression (and I believe that it's a good thing) is that English is swallowing languages word for word. Polish for example - Poland is a country pretty much positively obsessed with US, especially the older people. There's a lot of concepts that we literally take over from English, for example "pro choice". We're living in an increasingly Western global culture. It's surprising that we're seeing so much Chinese influence in our languages.
