Beijing: Chinese have "poor" English skills despite huge efforts by the government in language training, according to a study.
China was ranked 29th in the English Proficiency Index, behind other Asian countries like Malaysia, Japan and South Korea, the Shanghai Daily reported.
Test-oriented, memorized learning habits did not give Chinese students the real language skills, education experts said.
The report was based on a free online English test, where two million adults from 44 countries where English is not the native language took part. IANS
