China is a large country with many regions so that’s a pretty big handwave, like saying ‘English is useless outside of North America. Not to mention the huge economic and culture importance of it in the future give that vasts amounts of culture products are produced in China. There may be more countries speaking it, but many of those countries are practically speaking, not as important as China because they don’t produce much exported culture. Even Korean and Japanese IMHO arguably have greater use dur to Kdrama/pop And Anime. Whereas Arabic would only be useful during tourist trips and practically speaking it’s easier for people to consume exported culture than to travel to dozens of countries.
