I came from smjk c and nowadays none of my ex classmates type in Chinese anymore lol. Sure we still speak mandarin when f2f with each other out of habit, but our work environments & in many cases our spouses are mostly English, so English kinda naturally replaced Chinese for many of us. We also speak English with fellow Chinese-educated colleagues at the work place.
Well speaking from experience, it’s mostly useful if you’ve China clients and your boss will ask you to tag along as a translator haha. But turns out the China clients often speak fluent English as well.
