Determined not to miss such a wonderful chance to rise to prominence as a modern state, fully integrated into a globalized world, the People’s Republic of China embarked upon an intensive ESL Program, meant to enable her population to communicate with the thousands of tourists who were expected and who were, under no circumstances, to be displeased. By providing different perspectives of various scholars, the present paper aims at analyzing the impact that the study of English language has and is apt to have upon China in terms of culture, politics and economy, depending on what course of action it will adopt. Keywords: Chinglish, China English, ESL, China, culture, direction.
